External Harddrive reads very slow

Ok that clears things up. I'll just buy a new card. Thanks!

The broken port is not fatal though I think USB chipset designers are
smart enough to include error checking in their products.

I have not get why the ehci-hcd is not loaded, it is not sure
that it would be related to your broken port

Also the mix UHCI/OHCI seem a bit curious to me, I always
see you have to choose between both in kernel config
but not both, I have not an additional USB PCI card though
I use only the motherboard chipset.

Is your broken port on the additional USB card or on the
USB ports provided by your motherboard ?

Look at the bit in red - it actually doesn't come MUCH clearer than that.
You have it running at 150K/s

Cheers,

Oh yes, I already did that..it's okay now. I feel dumb for not catching that.

Additional USB card.

Find a different hole in the back of the computer for the USB
cable until such time as it stops swearing in the log?
