[Bug 95428] Cannot mount USB 2.0 devices

[William Shotts]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-28-386

On my IBM ThinkPad T41, USB 2.0 devices will not mount.  When inserted,
a stream of messages such as these appear in /var/log/messages until the
device is removed:

Mar 24 07:51:45 toucan kernel: [17180540.060000] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

Mar 24 07:51:57 toucan kernel: [17180552.408000] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 45

Removing the ehci_hcd module (via modprobe -r) allows the devices to be mounted albeit in 1.1 mode.
This problem appears in 6.06 and is still present in 7.04 Beta.
