Hold on, do I understand you correctly - you're now getting the same
errors under 2.4 that you previously got with 2.6? Why did this not
happen before? Are you sure the drive is not damanged? Can you try
with another one?

So this is 2.4, not 2.6, right?

I've heard some reports of problems with ehci, but it's strange that
you're gettin them with uhci. There's one thing you could do:
temporarily move the uhci module from /lib/modules/... away, reboot
and see if it uses the ehci modules and whether that works. And then
move the ehci module away and try the same with uhci.
Also, can you show me the output of:
lspci

No, please don't do that. I doubt it'd make a difference.

Do you have another drive you can test? But you initially said that
2.4 was working fine. From your current message it seems this is no
longer the case. Can you confirm?
