hello, i get USB kernel messages printed to the console regularely:
usb 1-5.4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 in past, i used the onboard USB controller with a via chipset, and additional to the messages, i had read/write errors. then someone told me, that the via USB 2.0 chipset is known to be bad quality. So i bought an Adaptec USB 2.0 controller with a NEC chipset. now, lspci gives the following: 0000:00:08.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:08.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:08.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04) i've connected two USB 2.0 devices to the controller: - an external USB 2.0 400GB harddisk (Seagate) - a USB 2.0 multi- cardreader the kernel messages are produced by the external harddisk. fortunately, the read/write errors disappeared with the new NEC USB controller, but the kernel messages still occur. i still get the following message inregularely, but the average may be something like 3 minutes. often the message is printed twice at once: usb 1-5.4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 and another log message is printed to the console quite inregularely: ehci_hcd 0000:00:08.2: qh ffff81001f00aa00 (#00) state 4 unfortunately these messages mess up fullscreen console apps like mutt, irssi, vim etc. but that's not the biggest problem. i could configure syslog-ng to just print them to kern.log and not to the current console. but what i really want is to know why these messages occur, and how i fix that. do you think the the external harddrive is the problem, regardless which controller i use? if yes, is there a way to fix it? i'dd really love to see these messages disappear. greetings jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
