Re: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

I've been having the same problem with a usb stick of mine, the same error - unable to enumerate USB device.  I figure explaining my experiences here may help someone else trying to figure this out.

This seems to be hardware related, unfortunately.  I don't know if anyone can correct me.  I have two laptops, one old one new.  Both use 2.6.29.  This one usb stick I have just wont work on the old laptop, regardless of kernel version or distribution.  Other usb mass storage devices work.

I suspect that this is a combination between a kernel bug and hardware issues.  All google searches on this error seem to indicate that the only way people fixed this was through replacement hardware.
I know that the usb flash drive I'm using has a hidden second volume on it.  A 1GB read writeable volume, and a 4MB volume that is uneraseable, includes a pdf document that came with it.  This is not a second partition, the OS sees it as a virtual CDROM drive.  (I got the stick for free at a conference.)  I don't know how this is implemented in hardware, but on other systems (on mac/windows/linux), a second volume appears after 10 seconds of insertion.  I suspect this quirk is what prevents me from using this as a usb boot stick too.

My guess is that the usb device does not follow specification exactly, and borks on certain OS/hardware combinations.  I would call my usb stick broken, and it only manifests itself on some hardware.  The newman mp3 player may be similar, not following the usb specs 100%.  As you said, it won't work in Vista either.

Do you have a different usb mass storage device that you can try?  Plug in a hard disk, a thumb drive, a different mp3 player, see if it works right away.  It makes me sad when hardware doesn't work on Linux, but sometimes that means a trip to ebay and newegg.  I'm going to be doing that with my thumb drive.

Thanks, I think it my newman mp3 player not following the usb specs 100% as you said.Some usb mass storage can be used,such as kingston flash device.Don't I can only use my MP3 player in winxp?

Re: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

May be a hardware problem indeed, I have seen a case where one of my usb sticks that worked well in every computer didn't work so well in a neighbor's notebook, it would be detected and I could read stuff from there but once I started writing it would just hang the pc.
These days I guess it takes some bad luck to find a combination that doesn't work but it can happen.

Does that player have an SD card reader?? I think I've seen someone with a similar problem before and it was just a bad cable if I remember correctly.

Re: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

No hardware problem... this is happening me all of the time with various usb-connected things like mp3-players, usb-drives, etc.
dmesg gets spammed with;
usb 1-1.4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 19

Re: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

Perhaps it is insufficient current supplied by the mobo. 

A USB 2.0 card may solve the problem.  This corrected a similar problem in one of my mobos.
