[Bug 318085] Re: Unable to enumerate usb device

[disco_stew]

I have some even more bizarre behavior to report with regards to this
bug. The above symptoms only seem to occur when the usb key was plugged
into a Windows XP machine right before trying to mount it in Ubuntu. I
have been able to reproduce this multiple times.

Case 1: attach to a XP box --> safely remove --> attach to an Ubuntu box
--> experience problems described above.

Case 2:  attach to a XP box --> safely remove --> attach to a Vista box
--> safely remove --> attach to an Ubuntu box --> key mounts with no
problems.

Case 3: attach to an Ubuntu box --> safely remove --> attach to a
Windows XP box --> safely remove --> re-attach to Ubuntu box -->
experience problems described above.

You can go through all the permutations you'd like, but it seems to be
the XP -> Ubuntu combination that causes the problems. Is it possible
that XP leaves the key is some sort of bad state that then clashes with
Ubuntu? Like I said, bizarre .....

I think this makes things even more unclear. It may not even be an
Ubuntu bug. In my case, though, it's repeatable, so I thought it
noteworthy.
