USB2 trouble: EHCI HCD died

Michael J Gruber said about USB 2 Trouble: EHCI HCD died:

>I have an external USB2 hard disk and a PCMCIA USB2 controller. With

What type of PC Card USB 2 controller are you using?  I have an Adaptec DUO-Connect that works with the OHCI-1394 and EHCI device driver.  Also, what type of USB 2.0 hard drive are you attempting to connect to the controller.  Lastly, do you have any other USB 2.0 devices to connect to the controller to test if they work, such as a USB 'Thumb' drive?

How did you install the FC4 kernel only on FC3?  (Please reply off-list to this question.)

>devices at high speed successfuly with FC3/4?

I will reconnect the USB 2.0 drive this evening that I have and see if it works or not.  It did the last time I connected it up, but that was a while ago.
