No takers after after 3 days, so I'll offer this (probably useless) 
experience:
I was getting grief from a little Canon lIDE 35 because the computer m/b 
apparently didn't supply enough current to power it.  Solution was to 
buy a POWERED USB hub to plug it into.  It now works like a champ.
I had the advantage of having 2 computers with identical kernels. One 
worked, one didn't.  For the record, the failing m/b was an ASUS a7n8x 
deluxe ver 2.
