Hello linux-usb-users,

  I have linux box with one ALi M5237 (PCI USB 2.0) controller, and
  an external HDD enclosure attached to the USB controller. The kernel is 2.4.21-rc5.
  Here is my "lsmod" output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
bongo:/# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
usb-storage            48704   0 
sg                     24324   0  (unused)
ehci-hcd               15200   0  (unused)
nls_iso8859-1           2880   1  (autoclean)
sd_mod                 10044   0 
usbcore                54944   0  [usb-storage ehci-hcd]
ide-scsi                8864   0 
scsi_mod               52892   4  [usb-storage sg sd_mod ide-scsi]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   When I try to access the HDD in the enclosure(e.g. mount a partiton, list partiton 
table), some strange
   errors appear to my syslog:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 28 17:36:42 bongo kernel: SCSI disk error : host 1 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return 
code = 70000
May 28 17:36:42 bongo kernel:  I/O error: dev 08:03, sector 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   and the I/O error comes every time from different sectorm, and HDD access is very 
slow, and sometimes it freezes
   ... so, it looks like HDD error BUT I've tried few things:

1. i replaced  my ALi M5237 with another  ALi M5237 controller - the same result
2. i replaced  my ALi M5237 with  VIA VT6202 controller - everithing runs fine with 
the same modules/kernel
3. i put my  ALi M5237 controller on Windows2000 - everityng works fine again.
4. using usb-ohci (for the "companion controller) instead of ehci-hcd it works again - 
slowly but works without errors

Any ideas - where/what is the problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks in advance !
