Comment 349 for bug 88746

I have to take back, that my system works after increasing the voltage as stated in post 346.

The problem reappeared on my system (no hardware changes, no usb setup changes) first in Intrepid Beta ( using the latest [final?] 2.6.27 kernel ) and soon after on my actual Hardy system.

So I am at the beginning again. Disabling ehci is NOT an option for me, as I do my backups to external drives which involve several GB data volume.

I already considered buying a new motherboard, but reading again through all the posts, I suspect that there is no real guarantee that it will work.

So my last experiment before I take it personally will by to use a pci based usb controller card and see what happens.

This is extremely annoying !
