Sounds like this could be a power issue. If the external device has a
plug-pack option, try this with the laptop. Alternately, if you have
another low power device (such as a USB key) try that, it should be the
same procedure exactly. Alternately your kernel might be having trouble
with the USB host adapter in general or you have mismatched USB 1.0 / 2.0
etc. My bet is still power though :-(
