USB error -110

[Deicist]

Hi All,

I'm trying to move to virtualbox from vmware, however I'm having a problem with one of my VMs that I can't resolve.

the VM in question boots a CD image of PING to create images of hard disks. The hard disks are connected using a USB->IDE/SATA bridge device (I've tried 2 different devices). This works fine in VMware, connecting the USB device to the VM results in the disk being detected and made available to the VM. However, under virtualbox all I get is this error:

Code: Select all

usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 3, error -110
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -110
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 5, error -110
hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

I'm assuming this must be something to do with the guest OS since the same device works fine for a virtualbox windows 7 guest on the same host, however it also works for the PING guest on vmware.. so something about the combination of virtualbox 'hardware' and the PING guest is causing a problem.

can anyone offer any insight here?

Cheers.

Edit: NVM, literally minutes after posting this I noticed the 'EHCI' option in the virtualbox USB settings. Unticking that fixed the issue.
