is there a way i can get more usb diagnostics?
it seems that USBVERBOSE is on by default in the kernels.
i would like to get some insight into what's happening
when the disk (seemingly without reasons) detaches.

some more tests yesterday: i used the disk without
problems for more than 3 hours in win xp, so the
bios and cable seem to be ok.

i also installed a feb 2 snapshot, and while at first
it worked flawlessly, i fsck-d a 200G ext2 partition
on it, later it started doing the same as the 4.0 kernel.
i could basically disable one usb port after another
just by plugging the disk in.

another minor info, by the time a port gets disabled,
even if no usb device is plugged in, this is what
usbdevs shows:

amaaq> usbdevs
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel
 addr 2: product 0x0900, vendor 0x1058
 

could a usb guru help me with this please?
