USB 1-2 device not accepting address

[ObsoleteAcey]

For some reason when I boot fedora 15 now all I get is the error message:

[xx.xxxxxxxx] usb 1-2: device not accepting address 2(3,4), error code -110

It then starts the fedora boot screen and then drops to debug shell. Problem is I have no keyboard because of the issues with USB. At the moment I am using a slightly older kernel as the newer ones gave me USB problems (using 2.6.38.8-35.fc15).

Anyone else had this problem and know if there is a fix?

I havent' had the error, but I notice this person says its a power consumption problem.

I don't understand why it's fixed by unplugging things and plugging the same things back in.

Interestingly, I was sporadically observing the same thing in my laptop under F17. Somewhere in the midst of my tweaking, it completely went away.

Note that before my tweaking, APU idle temperature (24-25C ambient) was hovering around 65C. Following tweaking, its now hovering around 40C, which is much more comfortable and obviously FAR lower power consumption.

Although I can't conclude whether the USB glitch went away due to lower power usage or something else I tweaked, I can certainly say that the two are POSSIBLY related.

Anyone else got any clues on this one? My PC boots windows vista just fine, yet even fedora 17 is giving this exact same error. I'm about ready to just ditch linux altogether at this point
