Howdy all,
I had a problem with 2 of my usb 2.0 devices when I ran RedHat and I
was hoping that it would magically fix itself with Gentoo, but alas.
Heh.. anyway, I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight.
I have a Dell workstation that has an built-in usb controller. I have
also added a usb 2.0 card in it. Now, the two usb 2.0 devices that I
have are a maxtor 40gb harddrive and an iomega 24X predator cdrw drive.
Now, if I have them both plugged into the 2.0 card and I try to use
both of them (say I'm using xmms to play mp3s off of the maxtor drive
and then I start a burning session) they both go nuts. The maxtor just
locks up and I have to reboot and the iomega drive may or may not finish
burning. Sometimes this happens even when I'm not doing anything on the
maxtor drive (other than the fact that is' mounted).
Anyway, if I move the maxtor to the built-in usb controller then
everything goes away, but the drive access speeds suck. I'm using
ehci-hcd (which I realize is experimental) so maybe I'm just SOL. But,
if anyone else has overcome this or a similar problem, I'd love to hear
about it.
