FYI, exactly the same this error appeared for me because of failing hardware! Linux just recognized it earlier than Windows XP. In my case it was an USB CF card reader which was operational in just 25% of the time after upgrading from Edgy to Feisty. But after a while Windows XP showed a similar behaviour.
Maybe Linux is more sensitive to failing hardware here (let it the board or the USB devices). At least I wouldn't be too sure that it isn't some hardware problem! -- USB devices are not recognized when having ehci_hcd modprobed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88746 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
