USB compatibility issue introduced in ver 9.2 not in 9.1

[VJ8h8bwgHziT]

I had upgraded to the new 9.2.0.1.959 from 9.1.0.1.847.150 but found that the USB ports on the front of the computer no longer worked and only one USB port on the motherboard itself was working with the new version. I reinstalled the older version again and everything works fine as it did before the upgrade. I should have not performed the upgrade since booting from the CD of the new version revealed the problem, but I was hopeful and foolish. Below is my configuration. When booting again from the CD for the older version, there is some code that turns off the USB, but then it is turned on again later by additional code. That additional code does not appear to be in the newer release.

Hi,
I found nothing in the NAS4Free code that would lead to that isuue,
but maybe it is related to :

I found not enough info about your mobo to verify this myself.

turn off usb 3.0 mode in the bios

Thank you, b0ssman!

I had changed the bios settings as you suggested and was able to have a working USB keyboard after booting from a CD, so then I did the upgrade and the same USB continues to work.

Strange that the bios setting change was not required by the previous version of NAS4FREE.
