Hello Rick, you are absolutely 110% correct. Since 'talking' to you last
I have been poking around in the h'ware and guess what I found? Another
2 port usb header (minus the pins) on the MB. So that makes 2 usb 1.1
two port usb busses. The 4 port usb 2.0 pci card makes up the others FC2
detected. I had the on-board usb disabled in the bios but when I checked
late yesterday I found that it was now enabled (should have checked that
earlier ;-)). I have again disabled them because I don't need them. This
probably occurred a couple of weeks ago when I booted the machine and it
went straight to the bios setup screen. I simply did a HD detect and
saved and exited. I should have gone right through the bios settings for
other changes.

OK, that means that I am using usb 2 cables as they have a clear plastic
coating through which I can see braided shielding.

I have come to the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, after disabling the
on-board usb, that there is something about the usb on this machine that
is unable to obtain port status or something. The first re-boot after
disabling the on-board usb resulted in me being asked to save or discard
the settings for the on-board usb. I answered to remove the config.
Below is the latest output from dmesg. FC2 still found the on-board usb
but doesn't appear to have tried to configure them whereas it did try to
setup the 4 port pci card. There are only three devices plugged into the
4 ports, a scanner, a Zip drive and the external HD. Maybe the message
about the possible faulty cable has something to do with there being
nothing on that port. Also I never turn on the scanner at boot time. I
turn it on whenever I need to scan something. The pci usb card is
sharing irq 11 with the dev 1274:1371, not sure what this is, maybe the
on-board IrDA, which has no header pins btw.

Is there anywhere that I can find out just what the messages mean that
are thrown up about the usb buss and drivers as some messages one comes
across can be very cryptic? Knowing that would mean its more likely that
I could understand what is going on.
Thanks very much for your help and your patience. Will let you know what
happens over the next few days.
That was a nice shot of your plane. Like someone else from Germany said,
somewhat more that $40 to go flying here in Australia as well. I'd love
to go up but my wallet isn't quite that large. Still, when I wind up my
old HiLux diesel ute on the open road it 'feels' like one is about to
take off. I'll have to settle for that.
