I personally have had real problems with any USB 2.0 device working reliably
(sometimes not at all) under RHEL3.
Haven't had any problems with those same devices under RHEL4 though. I chalked
it up to spotty 2.4 support and just upgraded (easy enough on personal desktops
and laptops, not so for servers).

Subject: USB External Disk/Hub Problem
I've been trying to get a Western Digital external USB hard drive
working with a RHEL 3 WS system (kernel 2.4.21-37.ELsmp). This system
is a Dell Precision Workstation 530 (3 internal SCSI disks). I mention
the SCSI disks, because I've gotten this USB disk to work fine on other
IDE-based systems (e.g. Dell Optiplex GX260). The complete output from
/var/log/messages when I try to connect the device to the Precision
Workstation is listed at the bottom of this message. I *believe* the
most pertinent lines may be:
Jan 16 09:01:30 saimiri kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
and/or
Jan 16 09:01:57 saimiri kernel: usb-storage: Refusing to reset a
multi-interface device
Jan 16 09:02:08 saimiri kernel: scsi: device set offline - not ready or
command retry failed after bus reset: host 3 channel 0 id 0 lun 0
I've tried manually unloading and loading the USB modules, upgrading the
machine's BIOS, and using the latest RHEL 3 beta kernel. Any ideas on
what else I might try?
Thanks.
