If the hub draws power from the USB bus, then some power-hungry devices don't get properly detected at boot time. But if the USB hub has its own power source, things would work better.
The USB hub is powered, and furthermore, the drive itself has its own power adapter. Culprit seems to be the new ub USB driver, as discussed in the Bugzilla entry that Adam posted below. -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
