It wouldn't hurt to try the newer kernel on the desktop system. > And is my further mucking around with this of any use to you, or are you > to thoroughly convinced that it's a hardware bug at this point? No, I'm not entirely convinced. It's some low-level problem, which might be connected with the hardware on the computer (since the drive seems to work okay) or possibly with the driver for the USB controller. It's still very odd, though. I can't think of anything that would give rise to the particular error shown in your logs except a problem with the drive itself. All I can really tell you is that at this point, I don't know what's going wrong. And I can't think of anything to test or try (other than upgrading the kernel) to help pin down the fault.
