error with Acrox USB2.0 8in1 CardReader

Hi

I have had problems connecting to my Acrox USB2.0 8in1 CardReader. I am using Fedora Core 3 development builds.
It fails to connect at all at first, and gives the following log messages:

Oct 13 09:54:39 scir kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using address 2
Oct 13 09:54:39 scir kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 2, error -71

Oct 13 09:54:39 scir kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 3, error -71

unless I rmmod ehci_hcd. Then I get the following:

So following the instructions I am reporting it here :-) There is also a seemingly related discussion here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id4027

Do I need to provide any more information, or is there an update to hotplug that should fix this?

Regards
David

I haven't built the kernel from source ; I just downloaded the rpm and built the standard kernel from source ; now I've applied the patch and in 3 hours should have a new one...
I'll test it then and report back.
Thanks for the response

David

With my new recompiled kernel with that patch I still get the same error, but the messages are more detailed:

Oct 14 07:27:46 scir kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 2
Oct 14 07:27:46 scir kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: qh 21aef080 (#0) state 1
Oct 14 07:27:46 scir kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: qh 21aef100 (#0) state 1
Oct 14 07:27:47 scir kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 2, 
error -71
Oct 14 07:27:47 scir kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 3
Oct 14 07:27:47 scir kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: qh 21aef180 (#0) state 1
Oct 14 07:27:47 scir kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: qh 21aef200 (#0) state 1
Oct 14 07:27:47 scir kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 3, 

error -71

I hope that helps to diagnose the problem...
I think a lot of the other similar errors with assigning addresses have error -110 or something, whereas mine is error -71

I did at one stage get a lot of error messages like this in my error log:

Sep 30 21:34:58 scir kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq 

status -71 received
These also often appeared on the system console. I'm not sure what made them go away... when I stopped getting them I started getting the device not accepting address errors. (At no stage as the usb device worked)

Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do to help diagnose this
David
