Memory sticks don't work.

Description of problem: Memory sticks don't work. Sorry if I have the Component wrong. I am using a IBM R40 Thinkpad. I tried the memory stick in Windows and it worked and I tried the the memory stick on other machines (R52) also running linux where it worked. I have tried many brands. This is my work and home laptop so it gets abused. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): don't really know. How reproducible: every time I try to use a memory stick - any brand Steps to Reproduce: 1. plug in memory stick 2. 3. Actual results: Doesn't recognize memery stick. I noticed the following in /var/log/messages May 25 17:32:04 tuesday kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using address 100 May 25 17:32:04 tuesday kernel: usb 1-3: device not accepting address 100, error -71 Expected results: memory stick to accept address Additional info:
usbutils contains lsusb to get a listing of usb devices - it is not managing usb devices at all. Assigning to kernel.
Was that Windows run on the same system? I'm asking because -71 is usually a signal integrity issue due to a defect of the mainboard. The only workaround I can offer is to force the 12mbit/s by unloading the ehci_hcd.
Looks like not a bug, may I close this?
