In testing on the ASRock E350M1 (also SB800-based), I am not able to
correctly access USB disks under linux.
Reads fail and the USB disk device disappears and reappears. The time
before failure appears to be random, although the most data I've been
able to read from the device (using a simple file copy) is 500MB. I do
not believe failure will occur unless you attempt to read data from the
USB disk.
You said you're able to boot from the hard drive, and then read from the
USB disk correctly.
It would be interesting to know if once booted, you can read significant
quantities of data reliably.
I am guessing you will not be able to, and that whatever bug causes this
is also responsible for the USB boot issue.
