usb device error: read/64, error -110, NTFS related?

[Bram Kuijper]

Hi all,

I have a 40GB USB disk which is NTFS formatted. Is it possible to mount 
NTFS usb-drives under Ubuntu Gutsy? Since if I plug the drive in, it 
will not automount and If I check dmesg, I find the following errors:

$ dmesg
...
[ 7871.671054] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and 
address 3
[ 7886.773725] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

address 6
[ 7953.636487] usb 2-1: device not accepting address 6, error -110

lsusb gives:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b3:3108 IBM Corp. 800dpi Optical Mouse w/ 
Scroll Point
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
...and thus only recognizes my mouse, but not the drive.

lspci gives:
00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB Controller #1 
(rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB Controller #1 
(rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])

any one has any information on these kinds of errors?

thanks a lot!
