I'm relatively new to linux and found David and Alans posts regarding a USB external HD enclosure*. I'm having what looks to be a similar problem with my external HD enclosure as well; it works happily under XP, but linux ( 2.6.10-5-686 ) keeps spewing logs like below..
--sample logs from dmesg-- usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 50, error -71 usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 66 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 66, error -71 usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 78 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 78, error -71 usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 83 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 83, error -71 usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 84 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 84, error -71 **--sample logs--
I'm not really comfortable modifying the kernel or anything quite that low level, but is there anything I can do to get it working ? Is there a place where I can look for more diagnostic data ? Also of possible note, I noticed David's using a thinkpad - I'm using a thinkpad T40..
