Anybody else seeing USB problems in the 2.6.28 kernels? The warp has a
USB 1.1 port off the PPC 440EP processor. 

In 2.6.26 we had some problems with certain USB keys, but 2.6.27 fixed
it. However, the 2.6.28 stream broke it again before rc1. We get this
when you try to use a usb key:

sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 990865 512-byte hardware sectors: (507 MB/483 MiB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through
 sda: sda1
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk

usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 2

usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 2
usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 2
usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 2
sd 0:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 60s

It then seems to work, but I see corruption on the usb key. I haven't
looked into it too much since we aren't switching to 2.6.28 anytime
soon (it breaks our Secure Digital card driver).
