Everything was working without a problem. However, I had to reboot the system at some point and then I was no longer able to mount my portable USB drive.as the device (sda1) never was created. A peek inside my dmesg reveals the following message over and over again: usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 64 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 I built my kernel correctly as this did not change between the drive working fine and this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount /mnt/usbdrive 2. 3. Actual Results: usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 57 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 64 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 Expected Results: USB drive mounts and allows me to access its contents.
bugzilla is not a troubleshooting medium. You provided no kernel version, no clue about your system, and no details. *Something* must have changed. initial signs point to kernel or udev. Let's start with the basics, emerge --info, uname -a, /proc/config.gz. No guarantee that this is solvable, via bugzilla. A better choice is forums, mailing list, or irc (#gentoo). Thanks for understanding.

Hi, Fortunately, I try to keep old configuration files around (basically I just maintain a copy of the etc directory). I found a copy of some 'storage rules' there which, when copied into the /etc/udev directory, seemed to do the trick. Sorry to clutter up the bugtracker. Alex
No worries, glad you resolved the issue.
(In reply to comment #6) > No worries, glad you resolved the issue. > Hi there, Unfortunately, the issue returned after I rebooted and installed a new kernel. Sometimes the device is found again, though not until I wait a very long time and goes through tons of those messages. Suddenly the device appears to find usb 4-1 which makes it happy: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 4-1: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 2 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb 4-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD10 EAVS-00D7B0 01.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 1953525168 512-byte hardware sectors: (1.00 TB/931 GiB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through usb-storage: device scan complete sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk EXT4-fs: barriers enabled kjournald2 starting: pid 6710, dev sda1:8, commit interval 5 seconds EXT4 FS on sda1, internal journal on sda1:8 EXT4-fs: delayed allocation enabled EXT4-fs: file extents enabled EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled EXT4-fs: mounted filesystem sda1 with ordered data mode Anyway, I am really not sure why this problem suddenly emerged, but it's rather frustrating.

The bug in URL suggests that this may be a problem your controller has with S.M.A.R.T. - we don't currently package libatasmart, but if you're running smartmontools or sth. similar, you should be seeing similar problems.
