I'm unable to get a Addronics 5-Port HPM-XU (USB/ESATA) port multiplier to work on Fedora-16. If I plug 2 identical disks into it, it doesn't work. If I plug either of those disks in by themselves, it works. I'm plugging the Port Multiplier in via USB2 cable to a USB2 port. The disks are all plugged into the Port Multiplier via direct SATA cables. Other people report it works just fine under fedora 14 and 16, but I get the same errors more or less on three completely different linux systems. Works fine on one of those system while its running windows 7. Is this a USB2 vs USB3 thing? The box claims "Any ESATA or USB 3.0/2.0 port". Different USB hardware? Below is the truncated (it goes on forever) log from plugging in two disks. Anyone have any ideas what I should do: Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 561.972132] usb 2-6: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.087108] usb 2-6: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=0539 Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.087117] usb 2-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=10, Product=11, SerialNumber=5 Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.087124] usb 2-6: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.087131] usb 2-6: Manufacturer: JMicron Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.087135] usb 2-6: SerialNumber: 000000000000 Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 3: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-6" Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 3 was not an MTP device Jan 2 15:26:08 comonad kernel: [ 562.366948] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
