Comment 2 for bug 296710

Yes, I can confirm that this happens on the following:
kernel: 2.6.27-8-generic
release: intrepid ibex 64 bit
where the following message appears in dmesg:
Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after

And also:
kernel: 2.6.24-21-generic
release: hardy heron 32 bit

In the hardy version there is no warning, but uhci is being loaded before ehci. I don't know the details, but according to [1], this is not good. I started probing around after a USB device of mine was behaving strangely, I don't know if this is to do with ehci and uhci being loaded in the wrong order, but warnings from the kernel aren't usually a good thing.
