Unable to use a new USB drive.

[hendrik@topoi.pooq.com]

This is on my Debian etch AMD-64 system.  Just to be precise,

hendrik@april:~$ uname -a
Linux april 2.6.17-2-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 17:49:33 CEST 2006 x86_64 
GNU/Linuxhendrik@april:~$

When I plug in my new 500GB USB drive, it tells me:

usb 2-7: new high speed USB drive using ehci_hcd and address 3
ehci_hcd 0000:00:0b:1: Unlink after no-IRQ?  Controller is probably 
using the wrong IRQ
usb 2-7: device not accepting addr 3, error -110
usb 2-7: new high speed USB drive using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-7: device not accepting addr 4, error -110
usb 2-7: new high speed USB drive using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-7: device not accepting addr 5, error -110
usb 2-7: new high speed USB drive using ehci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-7: device not accepting addr 6, error -110

After that, noting happens.  Pluggin it into another USB port (I 
have 6) doesn't help.

My USB mouse works properly.

What information would be useful to track down this problem and fix it?
