unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

pbcub1 · 2013-07-11 05:57:43

Ok so; I am trying to install archlinux(TM) onto my computer, and it keeps saying this:

[NUMBER*] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
*This number increments by 1 every 3 times it says this message, and it just keeps scrolling along, about a message a half a second

Right now, I've had my computer online so long that its up at 20060.xxxxxx

Anyways! I am still able to type in commands and they work but it scrolls so fast, its really hard to see output, also, I have tryed unpluging USB devices to see if that was the issue but its not. Also this is not a distro dependent bug either because it also does this on Backtrack, however I was not worried about it on Backtrack because I could type in the command startx and I would be safe from seeing this message.

Please, I want solutions.

If that's all you need, just switch to a different tty.

Can you give a better description. You say you are trying to install arch - are these errors in the live cd/usb enviornment? Is anything plugged into the usb ports?

When you say the number increments by one, which number do you mean? What is the output of lsusb?

it does not affect a GUI, it only affects text based systems, that and I cant install it, because the output scrolls up so fast because of this spammed message that i cant read it. I've also tried unpluging different USB devices to see if thats it and its not. Its also a cd environment

Sorry, there were too many pronouns in that post - I don't know what all the "it"s are referring to.

message does not affect a GUI, message only affects text based systems, that and I cant install arch, because the output scrolls up so fast because of this spammed message that i cant read the installation prompts. I've also tried unpluging different USB devices to see if thats the problem and that is not the problem. The envirnment is also a cd environment.

ok, have you tried switching to a new tty, what is the output of lsusb there?
