I was having disconnects after kernel 2.6.26 with a usb harddrive on an
intel mac mini. No USB quirks, or max sector changes helped. in the end
I traced the issue to kernel commit
b963801164618e25fbdc0cd452ce49c3628b46c8

I reverted the commit (had to be done manually), and everything is rock
solid for me on kernel 2.6.32 - 2.6.38

Attached is the patch I am using currently. applies to 2.6.37/2.6.38
(and maybe earlier)

** Patch added: "0001-reverted-b963801164618e25fbdc0cd452ce49c3628b46c8.patch"
