Re: [gentoo-amd64] Problem when mounting usb-drive

[faatihah]

I think i have solved my problem. However I am unhappy with the consequence. 
The problem is  may caused by chipset used in my pc. It fail to recognized 
between usb 1.1 or usb 2.0 devices. Before this I ve compile all hci module 
(ehci, uhci and ohci). Some how my pc keep detecting all devices as usb 2.0 
and using ehci drivers. So it fails to mount all usb 1.1 devices but very 
excellent on usb 2.0 devices. Thus, it keep generating error code 110.

To overcome the situation I unload ehci_hcd modules and load only ohci_hcd and 
uhci_hcd modules. ehci_hcd cannot be loaded even uhci and uhci is loaded or I 
ll get the error 110 again. Afterthat all usb_drive work perfectly.

At last, I am happy because i can use all usb devices but i am unhappy because 
there are some usb devices that are claimed as usb  2.0 devices but they 
aren,t.

[gentoo-amd64] Problem when mounting usb-drive

[faatihah]

I got a problem with my thumb-drive. Most thumbdrive do not work with my PC.
The error from dmesg is as below. I am suspecting some driver error. Does 
64-bit driver won't compiled smoothly for  the device? Currently, i am using 
2.6.9 kernel. Also no luck when upgrading the kernel to 2.6.12 and 2.6.13.

Error from dmesg:-
 $ dmesg 
 ...
 usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using address 16
 usb 1-6: control timeout on ep0out
 usb 1-6: control timeout on ep0out
 usb 1-6: device not accepting address 16, error -110
 usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using address 17
 ...

The funny thing is, I got no problem when using 32-bit Knoppix on my PC. All 
thumbdrive can be mount perfectly. 
(How does it feel when you need to reboot pc just to copy files to thumdrive?)

Dmesg output from Knoppix
