** Description changed: There seem to be several bug reports concerning usb devices in Edgy, but I couldn't find enough info in either of them to see whether one would match my problem. I will try to give a detailed description of my problem, including the information gathered by following the Ubuntu Wiki "debugging removable devices". (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices) When plugging a USB harddrive to my Toshiba Satellite P20-S303 portable (running Ubuntu Edgy), the drive spins up and then suddenly stops. This repeats three times. Replugging will not repeat the procedure. USB mouse and flash drive work perfectly, but the flash drive will not be recognized after I have plugged and unplugged the harddrive. 'lsusb' will not show any output and also cannot be canceled by Ctrl-C after the always unsuccessfull attempt to use the USB harddrive. The harddrive used to work perfectly with Ubuntu Dapper on the same machine, and also is readily recognized by a friend's PC running WinXP. I tried removing ehci_hcd as was frequently suggested in other threads, also experimented with the "Legacy USB" switch in the BIOS (like suggested in bug #55337) but without success. dmesg reports Oops , but see for yourself in the attached dmesg.txt, line 403. - Below I documented the procedure I followed, as described in Wbuntu Wiki + Below I documented the procedure I followed, as described in Ubuntu Wiki "debugging removable devices", assuming that I could use the procedure suggested for Dapper (Numbers refer to the steps described in the Wiki).
