Interesting...

I tried various UHCI hosts, they all work fine under all kernel
versions I tried (2.4.{20,21}, 2.5.70), but at a much lower speed.

I'm afraid not -- the disk is in one partition, and I need the data
that's on there. Currently I have no way of moving it elsewhere for a
test.

But why should a filesystem or SCSI problem cause a timeout in the USB
subsystem? There must be something wrong with USB, even if other parts
of the kernel aren't spotless either.
