Public bug reported: This bug is similar to #250317, but the symptons are quite different. I have two external usb disks (iomega, 500 GB) that are configured in a RAID-1 setup. The raid volume is supposed to be mounted while booting and only contain data files They are plugged in all the time. I'm not booting from the raid volume.
Despite a lot of dmesg warnings, the machine is still booting. It just takes a little while before the "Unable to enumerate usb device" warnings stop and the usb disks are recognized. It looks like a sort of race condition because the warnings typically stop when there is a lot of IO activity to keep the kernel busy for a few seconds. After that the USB devices are working perfectly. As far as I can recall, the problem appeared after a kernel upgrade in ubuntu hardy and it still remains in the latest ubuntu ibex.
