Thread: Problem booting from external USB

hello,

after upgrading karmic have problems booting external usb drive. jaunty (on same external hd) used boot in couple of minutes max, karmic instead takes more 5 , of time spent resetting high speed usb device ehci_hcd.

here's excerpt dmesg

external hd found (i guess)

code:

[    1.808210] usb 2-1: new high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [    1.941201] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen 1 choice

then few seconds later file system mounted

code:

then problem occurs:
ubuntu takes 31 seconds reset high speed usb device followed reset (only 8 seconds long)

code:

[   32.141947] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [   41.928248] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [   72.916231] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [   80.928236] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [   81.105740] tg3 0000:09:00.0: pme# disabled

and again 30 odd seconds + 8 seconds reset high speed usb device

code:

[   81.165799] addrconf(netdev_up): eth0: link not ready  [   93.928240] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [  124.916248] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [  132.928247] usb 2-1: reset high speed usb device using ehci_hcd , address 2  [  134.540618] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0

then, after time doing strange [drm] tv-16 etc... (spending 90 seconds or so) resets again:

code:

[  135.722338] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  162.987413] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  163.152465] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  163.476947] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  163.643010] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  163.967614] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  164.133035] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  166.865906] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  167.031510] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  216.570181] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  216.736116] [drm] tv-16: set mode ntsc 480i 0  [  313.945068] usb 3-2: new full speed usb device using uhci_hcd , address 2  [  314.164158] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen 1 choice

finally, after 5 minutes allowed log in...

idea how solve issue?

lot.
