Problem connecting USB devices

Hello,

i've installed an additional PCI USB controller card to have USB 2.0 support
in an older computer. Unfortunately connecting devices to this controller
does not work.

host:~# lspci -v | grep HCI
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce USB Controller (rev c3)
(prog-if 10 [OHCI])
00:03.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce USB Controller (rev c3)
(prog-if 10 [OHCI])
01:07.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 62) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller
01:07.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 62) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller
01:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 65) (prog-if 20
[EHCI])

nVidia is onboard, VIA is the new one.

Connecting an external harddrive to one of the old USB 1.1 ports works:

host:~# dmesg
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

But connecting this harddrive to one of the new USB 2.0 ports does not work:

host:~# dmesg
usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 5-4: device descriptor read/64, error -110

usb 5-4: device not accepting address 4, error -110
usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 5-4: device not accepting address 5, error -110

Loaded modules:

host:~# lsmod | grep hcd
ehci_hcd 28136 0
ohci_hcd 18276 0
uhci_hcd 21164 0
usbcore 112644 6 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,usb_storage,usblp,uhci_hcd

Does anybody have an idea what to do about this?

My system:

host:~# uname -a
Linux host 2.6.18-5-vserver-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 20:10:39 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux

host:~# cat /etc/debian_version
4.0

Thanks in advance!

Andreas
