 |
|
Hello.
I have an external hard disk connected by usb (an iRiver mp3 player actually) and while it is USB 2.0, it is recognized as USB 2.0, the transfer speed is close to USB 1.1 (less than 10Mb/s, I measured it).
I have EHCI (for USB2.0) and OHCI (my usb mouse don't work without it).
My motherboard is an nForce2, my kernel a 2.6.8-gentoo-r3, and it works at full speed with my old 2.6.5. However since it was generated by genkernel (unlike the 2.6.8 that I configured myself) I can't compare the configuration of the 2 kernels.

Your kernel log may have useful information you could post:

Is it possible that you have some USB 1.1 AND some USB 2.0 ports and pluggend the harddrive in wrong port? From dmesg it *seems* like you´ve connected the external harddrive to an USB 1.1 port.
Here´s the dmesg part that makes me think so:
| Quote: | usb 1-1.2: new full speed USB device using address 5
usb 1-1.2: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: MK4004GAH Rev: JC00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sdc: 78126048 512-byte hdwr sectors (40001 MB) |
USB 1.1 is called "full speed" whereas USB 2.0 is called "high speed" (if I got it right). And the kernel says your device is connected to a "full speed" port.
You might also have a look at the BIOS, perhaps you have an option to toggle "high speed mode" on or off. In my BIOS its called "USB legacy support" (or something similar) and it has to be disabled to enable the "high speed" ports.
BTW: While reading your dmesg I came across this:
| Quote: |
Losing too many ticks!
TSC cannot be used as a timesource.
Possible reasons for this are:
You're running with Speedstep,
You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.
|
I´d check wether you´ve enabled DMA on your harddrive and DVD burner with
| Code: |
hdparm /dev/hd{a,c}
|

The problem was the DMA, I have an nForce card so I had to check an option for DMA support on nForce card.
Thank you!
