One of my machines has a card reader (CF, SD and so on). This device causes a message like this to be constantly logged to dmesg and the console: "hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6"
Apparently this is a known bug, or perhaps not a bug but an interaction between the way these devices work and what the kernel expects: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/26/217 However, the messages themselves are seriously annoying. For example, if a drive fscks on boot, I can't watch its progress or see any questions or warnings because "hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6" appears on the console several times a second. Is it possible to suppress this message? Because of the fsck thing, such supression would ideally happen early in the boot process, ie before I have a prompt. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
