See if you can load the uhci module via:
modprobe uhci
If not, it's not built into your kernel. To be honest, I'm not sure if
uhci will have anything to do with this or not. I've seen my iPod mini
do similar things (admittedly it's definitely a piece of faulty hardware
in my case). There are 3 types of USB systems as far as I can remember
- ehci, uhci, ohci. I generally make sure that any kernel that I have
has all 3 compiled.
You're using a very old kernel now as well - 2.4.20 is ancient. I'd
really recommend upgrading to a newer kernel, more than likely one of
the Debian 2.6 kernel images that are available. I noticed that you're
using xfs as well - I have no experience with xfs, so I can't say if
that's possibly something to do with this (I doubt it though to be
honest).
Hope this helps,
Dave
