All this shows is that the computer isn't able to communicate with two 
of your hubs.

I need to see more of the context.  What shows up in the usbmon trace

Also, after the problem occurs, you should go into the 
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/ehci/ directory and find the subdirectory 
corresponding to the controller for bus 1.  Let's see what the files in 
that subdirectory say.
