I have been trying to get a fairly simple memory card reader working with SuSE 10.1. The errors I get look like this:

I have seen similar reports elsewhere and tried removing/inserting the various USB hci-hcd modules and playing with the old_scheme_first parameter but with no change in behaviour. I tested two different hardware configurations, both running the 2.6.16.21-0.25 based kernels, with no luck. Then I tried with the latest Knoppix 5.0 distribution, using a 2.6.17 based kernel, and got no errors! Thinking that the problem was fixed in a later kernel I downloaded all the 2.6.18.1-6 bits and pieces from the Factory but still it doesn't work.
Arghh! This is the last thing stopping me chucking Windows off my parents PC. Actually it is already chucked and I need to get this back up and running pretty soon and I really, really want to keep SuSE as that is what I use on all my machines.
