Dell USB problem

[Christopher Hunter]

OK. dmesg gives a repeated report of "unable to enumerate USB device on
port 2 (or 1 or 4 according to the socket a USB stick is plugged into).

I'm getting really frustrated with this piece of junk - I've never had
USB problems on any machine before!

Any ideas? It's a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10.

Regards

Chris

My immediate reaction would be to try running the box on a Knoppix disc,
and assuming that works just copy the files over.

I googled 'Unable to enumerate USB device fix' and got
http://www.geekdevs.com/2010/04/solved-unable-to-enumerate-usb-device-disabling-ehci_hcd/

which discusses the upgrade to USB 2. I believe there is a USB 3 coming out
so, given Ubuntu's rush to the cutting edge, you may be in a similar situation
vis-a-vis USB 2 USB 3.

Good luck and please do post what you found worked.
