@Manoj, the supposed "workaround" (which has been working around for 2-3 years
now) was:
modprobe -r ehci_hcd
(Which resulted in terrible USB 1.1 speeds, but at least allowed people to read
their data.)
I could be wrong, but I believe this command (above) gives an error in
Lucid: module not found. I was under the impression that this error was
due to the (relatively) recent decision to integrate "ehci_hcd" in the
kernel itself -- ie, there's no *external*/modular/dkms file to disable
or remove at runtime.
I'm currently running a Dell Latitude E6500, AMD64 Lucid 10.04* and I
have only just started seeing this error (when reading from two known-
good external USB hard disks) *after* the upgrade from Karmic --> Lucid.
(Not saying that the upgrade is responsible; just trying to provide a
timeline just-in-case.) Suffice it to say, this problem is NOT going
away, and (if bug-reports are any measure) it's affecting a not-at-all-
insignificant number of users.
Would love a fix, naturally -- but in the meantime, is there a practical
(quick) way to perform the "modprobe -r ehci_hcd trick" (or something
similar) on as a workaround with modern/Lucid kernels?
