   Hello,   
      
    From time to time I don't get some USB hard drives up and running on my   
   Gentoo box but they do happen to work fine on a Windows box so I'm a bit   
   curious why.   
      
   dmesg just gives me this info:   
      
   usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice   
   scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices   
   usb-storage: device found at 3   
   usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning   
   usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3   
   scsi 2:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery   
   usb-storage: device scan complete   
      
   So it seems it being reset but why and by what. And what could I try to   
   avoid this in the future?   
      
   These are my kernel configuration parameters:   
      
   CONFIG_USB_HID=y   
   CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y   
   CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y   
   CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y   
   CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y   
   CONFIG_USB=y   
   CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y   
   CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y   
   CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y   
   CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y   
   CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y   
   CONFIG_USB_MON=y   
      
   Thanks,
