Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.14.4 (i've tested it on the newest kernel 2.6.15.4 - the same result; and on debian sarge with 2.6.13.? (another, different, machine) - the same result).
On windows there's no problem - i'm connecting my iPod - iTunes runs and all is ok.
On linux i get errors like that:
dmesg:
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

usb 1-3: device not accepting address 4, error -71
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 1-3: device not accepting address 5, error -71
Of course, number of addresses are changing.

After that iPod turns on, but even battery is not charging. It only turns on and that is all.
Please help. I can't every time go into window$ for upload songs.
The thing is, its not the only usb module needed for it to work.. Ive always kept it as a module so it can load all the other modules needed.. (:
Just try loading every usb-module you have (you can find the list via: modprobe -l) and see if that helps.. Otherwise, I realy donät know what it could be.. /:
Try plugging it into a different USB port. I had this same problem, the addon ports on the front of my case occasionallly give me that output with my iPod, other times it'll wait until I put load on the connection (transfer music) to crap out
Works fine when I use any of the USB ports on the back of my case though. Could be my cheapo motherboard not providing enough power to the addon ports but it's worth a try

There's one 'small' problem - i have a laptop.. i've tried every usb port - the same result
I have a ecs nforce3-a motherboard. when I have usb2.0 enabled my front usb ports dont like usb storage devices though rear work fine. disable 2.0 in bios and all works nicely except printer which prefers 2.0.
good luck. might try enabling verbose messaging for usb
That isn't so easy.. remember - it's a laptop, in bios there's a few functions.. e.g. date & time or boot device.
I'll try using back usb ports on machine at work.. but front of them doesn't work, as far as my laptop ports.
I'll try verbose messaging for usb too.. and i'll write results.
