Default usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Hi,
~
I am using knoppix 5.1.1 based on the Linux 2.6.19 kernel
~
sh-3.1# uname -r
2.6.19
~
I started Linux/knoppix with the cheatcode
~
knoppix init 2
~
then, after plugging in an external minidrive (before even starting X/KDE),
I got:
~
Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda:

I read from the error message and from some postings out there that it is
related to the combination of USB + APIC (+ low speed devices + bad
drivers?), that it also happens with printers, pen drives and wireless
cards connected via USB, so I started Linux/knoppix with:
~
knoppix apic=off noapic init 2

then I didn't get the first error stanzas, but only the

Why are these problems happening?

How can I fix them?

What is this ''external minidrive'' exactly? Typically all
USB storage needs only the USB storage drive under Linux,
so this seems to be either a hardware problem or a kernel bug.

Bug 7932 might be what is the issue, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7932

It seems to have been introduced some time after kernel 2.6.18.6
and is currently unresolved. The only advice I can give you
at this time is to try with an older kernel, e.g. any
2.6.18-variant.

What is this ''external minidrive'' exactly?
a Toshiba 40.00 Gb HDD2171 MK40196GAX

I started Linux/knoppix with the cheatcode

I ran dmesg:

I am able to fdisk, mount and access this USB-based (it is also
powered through the USB cable) external minidrive without any problems
now, which makes me wonder how safe my perception is.

Is there any way I could test the drive by other means? Even in a low
level way to see what is really going on with it and try to tell apart
hardware from software problems and if they are software ones, of
which kind? Or do you think the drive si just fine (I will regularly
backup my data anyway ;-))

Well, I don't think you need to worry too much. If it reads and
writes fine, thebn it should be ok. However if something breaks,
it will likely be the USB interface. In that case you can still
connect the disk directly via IDE and get the data.

Yes. But is does not seem to impact drive functionality.

well, I think you are right. It might be most probably kernel related

Shouldn't that be "acpi=off noapic" ?


I think it should.
