Hi, Michael, I've also had similar problems with Fedora Core 1 doing this with USB2 (nForce2 board) and a mass storage device - I see from your logs that you're using 2.6 (and presumably FC2), which is interesting, since it hints that the bug is a driver issue still to be resolved. The way I worked around it was to plug the device into a different physical USB interface, which then worked. That's annoying, I agree, and I ended up simply disabling USB2 and moving everything to a (slow) USB1.1 connection. A few questions for you: 1. What kind of device is generating these errors? Specific model information would be handy. 2. Are you sure your USB controller is not sharing an interrupt with anything? Use "lspci -vv | grep Interrupt" to check 3. How many USB devices and hubs do you have connected to your computer? 4. If you've got Windows, does the device function properly there? Unless I seriously misunderstood (quite possible!) something in the kernel source, the error is generated by usb.c, which is a library (of sorts) called by the other USB drivers. That means there's no really easy thing to point to as the problem, although I suspect the EHCI-HCD drivers are the problem. No idea where, though - a brief glance at a relevant spot doesn't reveal anything terribly obvious (duh). CC my personal address on any reply email, since I get the list in digest mode, and sometimes miss stuff. -DMZ > Hello All: > > I installed a USB 2.0 controller in my server, it keeps printing this error > > usb 1-3: device not accepting address 2, error -110 > > I have found many people with this problem on the web, but I haven't found > any solutions > > Any help would be apreciated. > > here is lsmod > > Module Size Used by > edd 13720 0 > joydev 14528 0 > sg 41632 0 > st 44828 0 > sd_mod 25088 0 > sr_mod 21028 0 > scsi_mod 118340 4 sg,st,sd_mod,sr_mod > ide_cd 42628 0 > cdrom 42652 2 sr_mod,ide_cd > nvram 13448 0 > usbserial 35952 0 > parport_pc 41024 1 > lp 15364 0 > parport 44232 2 parport_pc,lp > sworks_agp 13472 0 > agpgart 36140 1 sworks_agp > ehci_hcd 33412 0 > ohci_hcd 24324 0 > ipv6 276348 37 > thermal 16648 0 > processor 21312 1 thermal > fan 8196 0 > button 10384 0 > battery 12804 0 > ac 8964 0 > tg3 75396 0 > usbcore 116700 5 usbserial,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd > e100 38400 0 > mii 9344 1 e100 > evdev 13952 0 > subfs 12160 2 > reiserfs 263504 4 > dm_snapshot 21536 0 > dm_mod 57472 7 dm_snapshot > raid1 19712 2 > ext3 121384 2 > jbd 75172 1 ext3 > > Here is lspci > > 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 32) > 0000:00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks GCNB-LE Host Bridge > 0000:00:01.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) > 0000:00:01.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) > 0000:00:01.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04) > 0000:00:06.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) > 0000:00:07.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] > (rev 10) > 0000:00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 > Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) > 0000:00:0f.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CSB6 South Bridge (rev a0) > 0000:00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks CSB6 RAID/IDE Controller (rev a0) > 0000:00:0f.2 USB Controller: ServerWorks CSB6 OHCI USB Controller (rev 05) > 0000:00:0f.3 ISA bridge: ServerWorks GCLE-2 Host Bridge > > > Following is a partial dmesg: > > > usb usb1: Product: OHCI Host Controller > usb usb1: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.5-7.95-smp ohci_hcd > usb usb1: SerialNumber: 0000:00:01.0 > hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found > hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected > ohci_hcd 0000:00:01.1: OHCI Host Controller > ohci_hcd 0000:00:01.1: irq 17, pci mem e1865000 > ohci_hcd 0000:00:01.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 > usb usb2: Product: OHCI Host Controller > usb usb2: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.5-7.95-smp ohci_hcd > usb usb2: SerialNumber: 0000:00:01.1 > hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found > hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected > ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: OHCI Host Controller > ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: irq 10, pci mem e1867000 > ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 > usb usb3: Product: OHCI Host Controller > usb usb3: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.5-7.95-smp ohci_hcd > usb usb3: SerialNumber: 0000:00:0f.2 > usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using address 2 > hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found > hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected > ehci_hcd 0000:00:01.2: EHCI Host Controller > ehci_hcd 0000:00:01.2: irq 16, pci mem e13bcc00 > ehci_hcd 0000:00:01.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 > ehci_hcd 0000:00:01.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Dec-29 > usb usb4: Product: EHCI Host Controller > usb usb4: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.5-7.95-smp ehci_hcd > usb usb4: SerialNumber: 0000:00:01.2 > hub 4-0:1.0: USB hub found > hub 4-0:1.0: 5 ports detected > Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones > usb 1-3: device not accepting address 2, error -110 > usb 4-5: new high speed USB device using address 2 > parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] > parport0: irq 7 detected > lp0: using parport0 (polling). > drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic > usbcore: registered new driver usbserial > drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core v2.0 > usb 4-5: control timeout on ep0out > Non-volatile memory driver v1.2 > eth0: no IPv6 routers present > end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 > eth1: no IPv6 routers present > end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 > hdc: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache > Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 > SCSI subsystem initialized > st: Version 20040318, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256 > BIOS EDD facility v0.13 2004-Mar-09, 2 devices found > usb 4-5: control timeout on ep0out > usb 4-5: device not accepting address 2, error -110 > usb 4-5: new high speed USB device using address 3 > mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,800000 old: uncachable new: write-combining > mtrr: type mismatch for fd000000,800000 old: uncachable new: write-combining > usb 4-5: control timeout on ep0out > usb 4-5: control timeout on ep0out > usb 4-5: device not accepting address 3, error -110
