It looks like the USB device is successfully identified and
configured, but when sending the "inquiry" command to the drive behind
the USB interface the connection halts.  Not sure why that would be -
it could be something with the controller, but it's odd that it
happens with both the ohci and ehci controllers.

If you boot to linux (using some other bootable device) what does
'lsusb' and 'lsusb -t' report?  Have you tested with a different type
of usb drive?
