Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

When plugging in a USB 2.0 hard drive to a stock Gutsy machine, I get the following in dmesg:

[ 131.646942] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
[ 131.758810] usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[ 131.974536] usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[ 132.190286] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
[ 132.302148] usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[ 132.517889] usb 2-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[ 132.733653] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 133.141157] usb 2-3: device not accepting address 7, error -71
[ 133.253029] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[ 133.660542] usb 2-3: device not accepting address 8, error -71

The drive does not appear to be recognized, nor does /dev/bus/usb/devices say anything about it. If I do "modprobe -r ehci_hcd", the drive is recognized as a USB 1.1 device. Not surprisingly, the throughput is a horrid 1 megabyte per second or worse. This problem seems to crop up a lot and then the bug report is closed when the problem mysteriously vanishes.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
