OpenSUSE ehci module (usb) suddenly shuts down 2
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts there was a very annoying bug in OpenSUSE (and possible in other distributions too). When I started to use an usb hard-disk or flash media, after a while the usb subsystem shut off. As it turned out after (when I’ve got a ps/2 keyboard) restarting the usb system solves the problem, but only temporarily. After mounting the usb storage(s) and starting copying, the error reappears. As it turns out, the cause of the problem were the usb hubs. I had them two. One was the keyboard itself (apple aluminium) and the second was a self powered belkin hub. Later if I will have time I will investigate further whether it was the keyboard, the hub or both. In the mean time the usb appears to be working.
