I have the same problem with the same USB device. I think the problem here is a compatibility issue with this particular piece of hardware. I have a couple of these, they're EagleTec chipsets, ID 05e3/0702, rev 2. Mine are bare-bone IDE-to-USB adaptor plugs, but I assume the same chip has been used in pre-built enclosures.
I get exactly the same result and error logs as has been discussed, and I'm running SME server 6.0, which is based on RH with kernel 2.4.20. It's usually volume reads that seem to fail eventually, writes are OK. I experimentally tried a 2.4.25 kernel, but it made no difference. What's intriguing though is that Knoppix (Debian) running 2.4.20 appears to work. I've looked at the 2.4.20 source on debian.org, they have a few patches to USB code, but I'm not sure if anything is relevant. The changes to usb-ohci.c look significant, but I didn't think ohci was involved here? I also wondered if this thing might need an unusual_dev.h entry, but there's nothing there. All distros I've looked at have an entry for rev.1 of the chip, but it doesn't work with rev.2 - completely kills it if enabled. I'm not too keen on putting a 2.6 kernel under SME, I suspect there may be dependencies that could break. I'd really like to know what Debian have done to get their driver to work :) -- Rick Jones ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
