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? -f -- from the land "down under": do we look <umop apisdn> from up over?
