Confirming as well. I believe it is a problem with the BIOS in my case as I cannot mount 2 different USB devices in WinXP (Dual boot, no I never really use XP) and these work fine on my other Edgy system. One is a 80GB hard drive usb and the other is a ATI remote wonder. WinXP sees them right off the bat and says they are 'MALFUNTIONING' and to replace them. The device name usually pops up, doesn't get the name though....
System is GigaByte GA-M55plus-S3G (F6 BIOS) Athlon 64x2 4200+ (32bit Edgy) Integrated Geforce6100 NForce 430 I believe the 6100/430 part is the important one as my 'google' research shows this problem all over with 6100/6150 on ASUS boards as well. Things I tried: modprobe -r ehci_usb Booting with the irqpoll noapic nolapic acpi=off options (In various combos and created a keyboard that doubles everything i type. dmesg attached -- usb change between 2.6.15-23 and 2.6.15-26 breaks working setup https://launchpad.net/bugs/54419 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
