asus Motherboard's usb failing with 2.6.8

[John covici]

I have an Asus Motherboard and I cannot get usb2.0 to work properly.
I get the following messages:

ehci_hcd: probe of 0000:00:10.4 failed with error -95

The relevant lspci listings are:

Well, getting the BIOS now in beta has helped a lot -- I still get
the failure, however before the failure it seems to load the module
and initialize the mass storage driver for at least 4 ports -- so
they may still need to fix something or maybe the 6.9 will fix it.

Thanks much.
