Bug Description

It seems that sometimes (seemingly randomly, makes me think its a race problem) USB devices won't work at all. My USB mouse never 'turns on', my cell phone doesn't start charging its battery and NM doesn't notice it, all three USB flash drives I have never mount or appear in menus or anything. Not sure if this is a kernel bug, or an X bug, or an nvidia bug, or something else but it is extremely annoying. The only workaround I have right now is to reboot and hope. All packages are up to date. If you want a log file, just ask.

Just noticed it wasn't mentioned: This only happens in the Intrepid beta. I never tried the alphas, and it never happened in Hardy.

Same problem for me since the last update this morning (linux-image-2.6.27-6-generic). There's no detection of any USB devices.
It works fine with the previous kernel (linux-image-2.6.27-5-generic)

If you reboot a lot does it work sometimes, or never? If never, its a kernel regression bug. The update actually seems to have fixed it for me (maybe) as I haven't had it in a while.

Not sure what fixed it, but it hasn't happened in over a month.
