Hello,

I'm having a problem with kernels (x86_64) <=2.6.32-rc7 (that means all
kernels I tried, including the latest stable 2.6.31.6) on a Gigabyte
P55M-UD4 mb (Bios F4l) with an Intel Core i7 860 and sleeping usb-hds.

I don't have the problems when using the same usb-drives on a laptop
with a core2duo (ICH8), so it seems to be a problem with the chipset
(p55-express).

The problem seems to occur when the usb-drive goes to sleep (because of
inactivity) and the kernel tries to access them afterwards.

Here are the excerpts from the log:

...

(And here comes the problem)>
Nov 13 19:47:34 krabat kernel: [ 2655.981980] usb 9-7: reset high speed
USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
Nov 13 19:47:39 krabat kernel: [ 2661.120397] usb 9-7: device firmware
changed
Nov 13 19:47:39 krabat kernel: [ 2661.120489] usb 9-7: USB disconnect,
address 3

That sounds like the device started reporting a different firmware string after it woke up, and the kernel decided it wasn't the same device anymore and triggered a disconnect/reconnect..
