Bug#601322: Acknowledgement (linux: USB drives not working anymore)

[Benoît Dejean <benoit.bugs@gmail.com>]

Hello,

this bug is still here.
I'm running:

ii  linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64            2.6.38-4                          Linux 2.6.38 for 64-bit PCs
ii  udev                                  168-1                             /dev/ and hotplug management daemon

My drives otherwise work fine using system-rescue-cd or if i 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd' (but then to slow to be usable, what's the point of having +1TB attached at < 1MB/s).

But at the same time, any USB2 key works very fine.
Is there some device discovery timeout ?
Something related to power management ?

Probably not.  I don't see any fixes to USB between 2.6.36-rc6 and the
stable 2.6.36, so please report this upstream at
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org> under product 'Drivers', component 'USB'.
Let us know the bug number or URL so we can track it.

Ben.
