Latest working kernel version: ? Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24-17 Distribution: Ubuntu Hardware Environment: USB ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash Card Reader/Writer (Internal/External) Software Environment: basic install, also from live cd Problem Description: USB port is being reset all the time when using uhci_hcd (ohci_hcd is working fine!) Steps to reproduce: modprobe uhci_hcd while the above card reader is connected This bug is simmilar to bug#10913, if I unload the uhci_hcd module, everything works fine. > uname -r 2.6.24-19-generic (same messages as with 2.6.24-17, have no earlier kernel versions available) Kernel messages: Jul 2 18:56:26 biser kernel: [ 657.430935] usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 Jul 2 18:56:26 biser kernel: [ 657.787498] usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 2 18:59:18 biser kernel: [ 829.158847] usb 2-5: USB disconnect, address 9 Jul 2 18:59:49 biser kernel: [ 860.781594] usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:49 biser kernel: [ 860.915970] usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 2 18:59:49 biser kernel: [ 860.930915] scsi10 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 2 18:59:54 biser kernel: [ 865.935757] scsi 10:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic USB SD Reader 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 2 18:59:54 biser kernel: [ 865.937506] scsi 10:0:0:1: Direct-Access Generic USB CF Reader 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 2 18:59:54 biser kernel: [ 865.939503] scsi 10:0:0:2: Direct-Access Generic USB SM Reader 1.02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 2 18:59:54 biser kernel: [ 865.941501] scsi 10:0:0:3: Direct-Access Generic USB MS Reader 1.03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 2 18:59:55 biser kernel: [ 866.158072] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:55 biser kernel: [ 866.417792] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:55 biser kernel: [ 866.673629] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:55 biser kernel: [ 866.929454] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:56 biser kernel: [ 867.177290] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:56 biser kernel: [ 867.808865] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:57 biser kernel: [ 868.064713] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:57 biser kernel: [ 868.328524] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:57 biser kernel: [ 868.644311] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:57 biser kernel: [ 868.900145] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:58 biser kernel: [ 869.279898] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:58 biser kernel: [ 869.527726] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:58 biser kernel: [ 869.783559] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:59 biser kernel: [ 870.075373] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:59 biser kernel: [ 870.367180] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:59 biser kernel: [ 870.619014] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 18:59:59 biser kernel: [ 870.891035] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:00 biser kernel: [ 871.166650] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:00 biser kernel: [ 871.426482] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:00 biser kernel: [ 871.714297] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:00 biser kernel: [ 871.970127] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:01 biser kernel: [ 872.221953] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:01 biser kernel: [ 872.509767] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:01 biser kernel: [ 872.769596] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:02 biser kernel: [ 873.041412] usb 2-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 Jul 2 19:00:02 biser kernel: [ 873.176269] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] READ CAPACITY failed Jul 2 19:00:02 biser kernel: [ 873.176277] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Jul 2 19:00:02 biser kernel: [ 873.176284] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense not available.

Does this also show up in the kernel.org 2.6.25.10 release? Or 2.6.26-rc8? We don't/can't support vendor kernels here, sorry.
OK, I gave 2.6.25.10 a try. Still not working, even got an oops. See attached system log. How can I help? What else can I provide? Note that I didn't try to configure much, just did "make oldconfig".

Tested with 2.6.26-rc9, still not working. This time with build options CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, I'm attaching the log files.

It was a hardware defect. New card reader works perfectly (same model).
This bug still seems to be alive, for example in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/88746 I don't think all the instances where this behavior has been reported are hardware defects. Often the hardware seems to work fine with MS Windows. Please re-examine the issue. Thank you.
As per comment #10, there is apparently still an issue. Of the massive list of comments from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/88746, several are related to the Alcor chip as with this one. There are probably several other suspected sets as well.
may0r and troy, if you have different devices with this issue, please open new bugs, or better yet, email the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing list with the information and the developers there will work on it.
Hello, I seem to have the same problem with an External USB HD. Its ASIC is based on the ALI chipset. When I write a certain amount of data (about a few GB) to the device, I start to get a bunch of reset errors. I've used other Hardrives to test this and it is repeatable. Not only that I have two of the enclosures and both behave the same. I can safely but slowly copy the data if I remove the highspeed kernel module, but when backing up ten's of GB of data, hours turn into days. I will be very happy to help debug the issue. Please let me know what data you need with the correct commands and I'll do my best. I have been using DEBIAN sid for a while and it too has the bug. I recently decided to build an Ubuntu 8.10 machine due to a hardware malfunction and the problem exists there as well. On a side not, when I format with an ext3 filesystem, it has trouble and I get the resets. It never finishes. If I take the same drive and connect it to a WinXP machine, I can format it in NTFS and copy all I want with no problems. I know this used to work fine, but I can't remember what kernel level it did work on. I'm sorry. I think the ALI chip is the culprit.

Status is "rejected invalid". What does this mean? I certainly have the bug, and hundreds of comments at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/88746 show that the bug is still there. Does "rejected invalid" mean that there are no plans to fix the bug? Is it official then? Linux doesn't support USB 2.0?
