usb pen drive problem

[wilku]

Hello.

I've searched through this forum but nothing seems applicable to my problem. I can't make my pen drive work.
If I plug it in, the last lines dmesg shows are

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
usb 2-1: control timeout on ep0out
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1f.4: Unlink after no-IRQ?  Different ACPI or APIC settings may help.

lsusb or trying to view /proc/bus/usb/devices just hangs and does nothing
there is no /dev/sd[anything] device present
Help. How can I make it work?

hi,

Try unloading acpi module first .. nd then try to mount the usb pen drive.
# /etc/init.d/acpid stop

this is done for stopping acpi dameon. You may also need to rmmod all acpi modules
( processor thermal fan battery etc).Now try to mount ur usb pen drive .. if it gets mounted .. our problem is localized..its a conflict with acpi..

Good Luck.
