In an emerge update I upgraded a few things including cyrus-sasl to version 2.1.21-r1. A dispatch-conf updated the /etc/sasl2/sasldb2 file, which is not plain text so when I saw the diff I just accepted. Following that I could not mount my mp3 player. I had the following error message: Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: port 1 reset error -110 Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: port 1 reset error -110 Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: port 1 reset error -110 Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: port 1 reset error -110 Jul 3 10:53:39 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) Jul 3 10:53:40 gentoo ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: port 1 reset error -110 Jul 3 10:53:40 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) Jul 3 10:53:40 gentoo hub 2-0:1.0: Cannot enable port 1. Maybe the USB cable is bad? Rebooting did not help. I tried in all my usb ports, and with every one that failed, the usb port could then no longer be used with anything else. On replacing /etc/sasl2/sasldb2 with the previous version and rebooting, everything was fine again. Doh. I just unplugged/replugged the mp3 player a couple of times while writing this and eventually got the same error. Then I moved to a different port and got a couple of working tries before the same again. This is better than before though where it just died first time every time. The only low-level package that has been upgraded in days is cyrus-sasl, and it and man are the only 2 packages for weeks that have have a new config file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-r1 2. dispatch-conf (or etc-update), and accept the new sasldb2. 3. plug in mp3 player. 4. dmesg.

(In reply to comment #0) I should really have pointed out that my cable has never shown signs of "being bad" before, and still doesn't on windows, so I don't think that is the problem.
(In reply to comment #0) ooook. Looks like cyrus-sasl isn't the problem. On further testing I managed to hit the problem again on a first try. Downgrading didn't help. I guess it may well be a dodgy cable, though I'm still striking lucky in windows every time. I'm going to close this as invalid at least until I can definitely say the cable is fine.
I can very definitely say that the cable is not bad. I thought it best to close the bug since the problem seemed to be getting worse and implying it might be the cable, but I've done lots more testing and it is 100% fine in windows. Unfortunately windows is running on a different machine and I don't have it on this one to test. That led me to look inside this machine at the connections, which all seem fine, and after all I am using a usb keyboard and modem, and have tried the mp3 player in the slots those two normally use to no avail. And cyrus-sasl can't be the problem. After downgrading it to what it was I'm still getting the error every time I plug the mp3 player in, and moving the config to a temp file gives no error about not finding it or anything while this is going on. I have no idea what could be the cause now :S. Btw, mp3 player is an Archos Gmini XS 200, it shows up as a regular usb mass storage device. Or at least it did...
Please try and reproduce on 2.6.12
Excellent. Gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r3 seems to have fixed the problem completely. Though I really don't understand how, I haven't upgraded my kernel since gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r11, and I've used the mp3 player plenty since then. Rebooting into 2.6.11-r11 still leaves it broke though. Anyhoo, thank you for your help. I assume it is correct to close as resolved-fixed now.
Thanks. 2.6.12 will be marked stable tomorrow.
