apinunt, this bug is far from dead. I triage bugs on a volunteer basis
as I have time evenings after work. As you suggest in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377297/comments/4,
this appears to be specific to Ubuntu 9.04, specifically the usb-storage
module (as you write in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377297/comments/5).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377297/comments/6
further suggests that external USB drives /can/ be made to work using
the workaround you described.
My opinion is that adding usb-storage to /etc/modules is an effective,
if unfortunately necessary, workaround. As the issue appears specific to
usb-storage and libusb, I have assigned this bug to the libusb-1.0
module. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance to you, but lacking an
external hard drive, I am not able to attempt to reproduce this bug.
Regards,
Kurt
