Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 How reproducible: attach an ipod device to an usb port Steps to Reproduce: 1.attach the device to an usb port 2. 3. Actual results: /var/log/messages: Apr 7 10:44:38 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 84 Apr 7 10:44:39 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Apr 7 10:44:44 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Apr 7 10:44:44 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 85 Apr 7 10:44:46 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Apr 7 10:44:51 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Apr 7 10:44:51 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 86 Apr 7 10:44:56 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device not accepting address 86, error -71 Apr 7 10:44:57 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 87 Apr 7 10:45:02 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: device not accepting address 87, error -71 Expected results: device gets mounted Additional info:
error -71 is "protocol error" according to errno.h
Forget errno.h. The error codes are in Documentation/usb/error-codes.txt. The early and persistent -71 is usually a bad port or a cable (less likely with real Apple cables, but possible). Sometimes reflashing the iPod fixes it too (I had a buddy with a 4G where it was the case - Apple shipped an update).
Could this be the infamous "device draws too much power" problem? Thorsten, did this iPod ever work on any kernel version? What model is it, and is the firmware up-to-date?
The ipod is working from time to time but had I absolutely no problems with it in the past. with the latest fc6 kernels I have more and more problems with the device. I'm using rockbox instead of the orginal apple firmware and of course I already tried a different set of usb-cables. btw, talking about a 4G 1st generation ipod. any other idea what the problem could be?
here is the log entry when the device will be recognized (as I said before, this happens from time to time): Apr 11 22:51:34 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 53 Apr 11 22:51:34 ernie kernel: usb 4-3: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices Apr 11 22:51:34 ernie kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report!
