As noted this seemed to be due to a dodgy cable and is thus pretty much
unreproducible.

USB hard disk errors followed by kernel WARNING: at

Hi Martin,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it
recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .
If it remains

Update - the original USB errors seem to have been the result of a dodgy
cable, things are now working fine with a sturdier looking one. I don't
know if a kernel warning is the right thing to happen under these
circumstances, or if there is still a problem in the error handling
path. Please close
