found a link with some info:

quote from the link:

"""
Q: Why doesn't USB work at all? I get "device not accepting address".
A: This can be one of several problems:

    * High speed devices sometimes have problems with cables used to
connect them. They're more sensitive to signal quality issues than
older usb 1.1 full or low speed devices. If the device works OK at
full speed on the same system, after you "rmmod ehci-hcd", this is
likely the problem you're seeing. There are a lot of things you can do
to change signal quality........ [cont]

with this simple test "rmmod ehci-hcd" my pendrive USB work fine!!!
