This is with a new kernel? (i.e. latest, that you've updated -
2.4.22-1.2188.nptl)

Same problem reported:

This is a fairly good thread to follow:
	http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21904.html

And from this:
	http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21454.html

We get that Error 71 is EPROTO, which indicates a low level fault from
the disk itself

If you think this is a bug and it works fine on other machines (say
running Mac OS X), I suggest you Bugzilla this, but not without relevant
information stated http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts1.

Hope this helps
