FC3, USB stick, and IBM t41 laptop oddities

[Harry Hoffman]

Hello All,

I'm having some issues mounting a USB stick under FC3 on my IBM t41 laptop.

It seems that with the "echi-hcd" module loaded I got the following 
errors when inserting my usb stick:

Jan  7 09:57:40 laptop kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using 
address 4
Jan  7 09:57:40 laptop kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 4, 
error -71

These errors continue on trying each additional address until 
(presumably) there are no more addresses to try.


If I "rmmod echi-hcd" and then insert the usb stick it works just fine.

The USB modules loaded from /etc/modprobe.conf are:
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

Are these modules meant to work together? And if so, is there some 
additional configuration that I've failed to setup?


TIA,
Harry
