I have similiar problems with kernel 2.6.0 on Intel architecture with
512 MB Ram.

My Abit IT7-MAX2 2.0 mainboard has two USB - EHCI controllers:

00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev 02)

02:06.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 51)

I'm using rsync to transfer my data to usb storage.
Connecting usb storage to one of the 4 ports of VIA EHCI controller and
then transferring data to it works good.

But connecting usb storage to one of the 6 ports of INTEL EHCI
controller and then transferring data to it, will hang up usb storage:

Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 121479

VIA EHCI controller uses interrupt 21.
INTEL EHCI controller uses interrupt 23.

Any ideas?
