So on and so forth. Any devices I've tried (usb keys and drives, mice and a sound card) worked fine in any port, the system boots fine and this doesn't seem to have any other effect than syslog spam, at least that I've noticed.

I tried to dig a little into it but couldn't find anything.

Temporary "fix" to keep the syslog clean for now, for anyone who has this little noise and needs a traffic cop to send it somewhere else:

add to rsyslog.conf:

:msg, regex, "enumerate .* device" ~
*.* /dev/null


Then just

#service rsyslog restart


Though redirecting it into its own log may be a smarter move.
