SubjectRe: [Linux-usb-users] linux 2.6.6, bttv and usb2 data corruption & lockups & poor performance
Date
> Hardware:
> Athlon XP 1600+
> Epox 8KHA+ VIA KT266A
> BT878 TV-card (bttv card=36 tuner=1)

I get hard hangs with a Bt878 + disk activity (every time it hangs,
the disk activity LED is on). But I don't have usb2. However I have
a similar processor, Athlon XP 2100+, and motherboard, VIA KT333.
I'm also using reiserfs (where an OOPS occurred in your system logs).
I also have a realtek 8139 ethernet card. We both have VIA usb 1.1
controllers. My hangs happen with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. I only
get hangs if I'm using the bttv card.

Are you sure you plugged your device into a usb 2 port, and not a usb 1.1 port?
Also, some products claim to be usb 2 devices, when they are in fact only usb 1.1.
