I have this exact same error. It wasn't present in my old A64 system which I used to install FC6 x86_64. But After I changed my motherboard to Asrock Dual VSTA and CPU to Intel e6300 conroe I received this error message.

Please tell me what is your motherboard and motherboard chipset. I can't help you but we might be able to isolate hardware/ software problem.

usb-1-1 device not accepting address 2, error 71
 

I had the some error on SLES10 SP2 (it is based on 2.6.16 kernel), to solve it, change sequence of kernel module loading in initrd,
for me below sequence worked:

modprobe "usbcore"
modprobe "ehci_hcd" (I had to swap places uhci with ehci)
modprobe "uhci_hcd"
modprobe "uhbhid" added for installation with USB keyboard
modprobe "usb-storage"
