Description of problem: Newest kernel release fails to properly handle USB 160 GB hard drive. Attached, please find boot information from the latest kernel boot, journal failure message and boot information from previous kernel. Additionally, the drive operational speed dropped drastically and an fsck on the drive failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8 Works on kernel-2.6.24.7-92.fc8 How reproducible: Didn't want to try reproducing the problem, sorry. Reboot to the old kernel cured all the ills - fsck succeeded with no errors reported, speed normal. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: USB driver seems broken on new kernel at least for this drive Expected results: Working USB drives Additional info:

I'm reporting this upstream right now. Clearly a regression in EHCI. Chuck, please don't reassign this to me yet. It's my bug, but I'm really busy with usb-serial and things... Sorry. I'll take this later. Meanwhile maybe Alan Stern & David-B would know something about this.
Seems to work ok on both kernel-2.6.25.6-27.fc8 and kernel-2.6.25.9-40.fc8 although there's limited runtime on the last one.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
