The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

USB device not accepting address

Hi,

I posted a similar question not so long ago also related to this title.  However, this time i got a new error message.  The situation is like this:

I am tasked to develop a "JTAG PROGRAMMING ACCELERATOR FOR USB LINK" for my university project.  I am developing on a Linux machine.  I am given a board with a FT245BM chip mounted onto it.  I have successfully installed libraries libftdi & libusb for this project.

Upon executing the command "dmesg" from the terminal when I plug the board into my computer using a USB cable, I get this message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 16
usb 2-2: device not accepting address 16, error -71
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 17
usb 2-2: device not accepting address 17, error -71
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone please tell me what -71 means and how can I go about rectifying this problem.  I read online about this issue but I don't really understand what they are saying as I am a novice Linux user.  They mentioned something about 'noapic'.  If this is the solution, could you please tell me what exactly should I type in the /etc/grub.conf file to solve this issue.  

Some guy with the same problem as me (I think) :  http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0304.2/0476.html
