After some testing I have to say that the problem persits. The only way the get a reliable drive is to remove ehic_hcd.
What really bothers me is that the original bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/88746/) is taged "Won't Fix"! I think working external harddrives is the least thing a LTS-version can offer! :-( -- External harddrive failure, ehci_hcd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
