Subject: Re: kern/34452: Freecom USB HDD which worked with 2.x doesn't work
 with 3.1_RC1, 4.0_BETA or 4.99.1

 Further info:
 
 On VIA chipsets (uhci), both 2.0.2 and 3.0_STABLE give BBB stalled, the 
 drive attaches, but is unusable.
 
 On SIS chipsets (ehci), 2.0 and 3.1_RC3 give Get Max Lun failed: TIMEOUT
 
 On Intel chipsets (the original being tested) (uhci), 2.0_STABLE and 3.0
 work, but 3.1_RC3 (and 3.0_STABLE) give Get Max Lun failed: TIMEOUT
 
 i.e. this drive does not work on VIA or SIS chipsets, but works fine on 
 3.0 and earlier on Intel chipsets.
 
 This narrows down the search, something along the path to 3.1 breaks it on
 Intel chipsets (having it working on VIA and SIS would be nice though :-) )
