Hi,
Trying to use 'Transcend JetFLASH' 2GB USB Pen Drive on Fedora Core 5.But whenever I plug the pendrive into the USB port.. Im getting the following error message in the console

usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
usb 4-1: device not accepting address 9, error -71
usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71
usb 4-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71

Above message says "device not accepting address 9, error -71"

What does this mean ?


I have googled this error and did the following

# Given a volume name
# Plugged the pendrive in all the USB ports on my system (I dont know which port is USB 2.0)



Plz help me out.

If your computer was put together in mid 2001 or later, it should have USB2, unless it was a "value" priced system (really cheap). My Jetflash could not be used in all my Linux systems on two different computers, till I booted up Windows XP which saw it, so I re-formatted it, then it was seen by all Linux on my newer computer that came with USB2, but only one Linux on my older unit with a USB2 PCI card (Mandrake 10.1). I came to accept that I got what I paid for when I bought it as I did go for the cheapest pen drive I could find at the time. My Sandisk is accessible by all systems and never needs re-formatting, but the Jetflash needs it on a regular basis.
