I run DSL straight from CD without loading any custom settings. So now there's no single thing I've messed up.
Then I plug my mp3-player in... It works. Mounting, unmounting... everything.
But when I unplug it and than plug it back dsl reports same errors. I cannot mount it anymore. Only working way I have discovered is to reboot the system.

OK now we have a clear statement of your problem. That helps.

Does this happen with _any_ usb device, or just certain ones? Ie have you tried this with other usb devices?

...

Yes This error eventually happens in all situations. No matter what memcard/stick I use.

But did you try this as I asked? You didn't say.

Please try this:

After unmounting and unplugging the device, do as root:

rmmod usb-uhci
modprobe usb-uhci

to unload and reload the usb-uhci module.

Then plug the device back in and try to mount.

Or for that matter try unloading and reloading all the usb-related modules

given by lsmod | grep usb

Because it's possible that's all your rebooting is doing. Just a stab.

I have to test that on my second computer. I have few mem sticks attached to this (server-like) computer and afaik those commands would stop the connection to those devices.
I'll test it in few days. =)
