Comment 8 for bug 231049

I have the same problem with a sansa clip. In gutsy on my old computer it mounted ok but only ever at USB 1.1 speeds.

On my new Dell inspiron 530 in fails to mount 95% of the time with:

[ 105.895973] usb 8-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
[ 110.517165] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: port 3 reset error -110
[ 110.517177] hub 8-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32)

Sometime after a few minutes (in 5% of cases) it mounts at USB2 (480) speeds, as shown by right-clicking on desktop icons and selecting properties and disk.

If I remove the ehci_hcd module with modprobe -r ehci_hcd, and then reload the module, it immediately mounts the device at USB2 speeds.

However if I unmount, and unplug the device, and then plug it back in, it fails to mount with the -110, -32 errors as before.

So I'm not sure if its some race condition with the uhci_hcd module, or a dodgy usb implementation in the device. I have noticed it doesn't take any notice of eject commands like my old mp3 player.

Its a real shame its such a hassle since its a nice mp3 player than is one of the few that can play ogg vorbis files also.
