Hi Brian,

I recompiled the kernel, but it doesn't work (yet).

I included the following line into the kernel configuration file:
device		ehci		# USB2

So (part of) the configuration files looks like:
------------------------------------------------
# USB support
device          uhci            # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device          ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device          usb             # USB Bus (required)
#device         udbp            # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices
device          ugen            # Generic
device          uhid            # "Human Interface Devices"
device          ukbd            # Keyboard
device          ulpt            # Printer
device          umass           # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device          ums             # Mouse
device          urio            # Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player
device          uscanner        # Scanners
device          ehci            # USB2

Recompiled the kernel and rebooted.

On insert of the LaCie usb harddisk (but also on insert of a memory stick)
/var/log/messages says:
------------------------------------------------
Nov  1 10:23:22 dowould kernel: usb3: unrecoverable error, controller halted
Nov  1 10:23:22 dowould kernel: usb3: blocking intrs 0x10
Nov  1 10:23:47 dowould kernel: usb3: port reset timeout

(The usb mouse works fine)

Could you or anybody give me a hint?

The dmesg is included below.

Regards,

Rob de Graaf

I went through this very same firedrill recently:

<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-August/004653.ht
ml>

After I put 'device ehci' in my kernal. my laptop-to-LaCie throughput
was
pretty good:

  # dd if=/dev/zero of=/new/junk bs=4k count=125000
  125000+0 records in
  125000+0 records out
  512000000 bytes transferred in 58.722096 secs (8719035 bytes/sec)
