[gentoo-user] Usb device not accepting address x, error -71

[pk]

Hi,

I've just stumbled on a problem with my "gentoo-sources" kernel
(2.6.22-gentoo-r9). My external usb harddrive where I keep my backups
does not seem to get recognised by the kernel anymore. I have googled
this and have come up with some possible scenarios. None of them seem
like they would solve the problem. First, my uhci and ehci is compiled
into the kernel (not a module). The same setup has worked fine for a
number of 2.6 kernels (since 2-3 years back at least). I've reused the
.config file during this time with "make oldconfig" and going through it
manually for each upgrade.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and more importantly has
anyone a solution to this? Is it a driver bug?

Best regards

Peter K
