That being said, shouldn't there be a way for the kernel to refuse to use this hd if it's not getting enough power. I don't know enough about USB to say, but isn't there something more elegant that could be done in software?
Not really.. It seems like pretty much a matter of the controller saying it can supply so much power, the drive says it uses so much power, but one of them is lying and the drive ends up tripping the overcurrent.
