My USB drives are not recognised

[Abidel Bassie-Cripps]

Hi Paul

When I had the problem with flash, I uninstalled all flash versions, then I tried the link that Tyler found and the one computer worked. I did the same with the other computer and found I had to expariment with which version worked. Which was not from Adobe. Why! I do not know! I does went with what worked. :)
 Sorry, can't help you on the USB issue.

Hope it helps!
Abidel

Subject: [TLUG]: My USB drives are not recognised

I am having problems with USB functionality under the latest Ubuntu for
64-bit. I previously emailed that flash is VERY broken in 64-bit, and
now this problem with my USB drives. I now miss my 32-bit machine.

Running dmesg, I get this over and over again:
[   76.957312] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
[   77.318014] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
[   77.678692] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
[   78.039382] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
[   78.400071] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
[   78.400076] hub 6-2:1.0: Cannot enable port 3.  Maybe the USB cable
is bad?

After 5 or 6 of those, I get:
[   87.237199] sd 7:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error
recovery
[   87.237209] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_ABORT
driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK

Then, after a few more of the first kind of error, I get this as the
final messages before it totally gives up:
[   97.818282] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot disable port 2 (err = -110)
[   98.827526] hub 6-2:1.0: cannot disable port 2 (err = -110)
[   98.828407] sd 6:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error
recovery
[   98.828422] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_ABORT
driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK
[   98.828426] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 60227685
[   98.828443] FAT: unable to read boot sector
[  103.878999] hub 6-2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)
[  108.148908] hub 6-2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)

As for "bad usb cables", my drives work perfectly under Windows XP, and
they are even used as network drives. Now admittedly I have had a new
kernel install, but even going back to an old kernel version didn't fix
the problem.

Anyone have any ideas about this?
