Strange behavior over USB - OS X and Windows 7 in VM

[odub303]

My difficulties getting my Epic to play nice with my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.4 are well documented in the USB thread, but I discovered something tonight that I think warrants a new thread in case others are having similar issues and we end up solving them (I hope!).

I have a 15 inch core-i7 MBP running OS X 10.6.4 and a virtual machine using Parallels running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. No matter what I do I cannot get OS X to recognize the SD card in the Epic (debugging enabled, mounted, etc., nor can I get adb to recognize that the device is connected). So I installed the Epic USB drivers in my Windows 7 VM and figured I'd give it a shot.

When I connect the Epic via USB while I am in my Windows 7 VM, Parallels asks me which environment I want to connect my Epic to, so I choose the Windows VM and get no recognition by the VM when I mount the SD card (I dismount the SD card before running adb). In the Windows VM, I open a command line, navigate to the sdk tools folder, start the adb server and run adb devices. The Epic shows under devices, but lists as offline. Has anyone else seen this or can anyone else replicate this behavior? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've been using a non-powered usb hub which is the only way I can get it to work.
