Background:
I have my new days-old JetKVM unit attached to a Raspberry Pi Zero2W via Mini HDMI and USB. The JetKVM is being powered externally and separately using the included USB-C Splitter with its own power supply, the data side of the splitter cable is attached to the RPi USB Hub for Keyboard/Mouse/etc. connectivity. The RPi has its own separate power supply as well. Pretty standard, right? The USB hub has a cable attached to a UPS since the purpose of the RPi is a remote Network UPS Tool (NUT) monitor for the UPS which you'll see in the RPi messages output below.
I consistently see -- every 1-2 minutes now -- a couple of kernel messages popping up on the Raspberry Pi:
I'm guessing the USB resets and Storage Device resets logged every minute or two are NOT normal/expected? I don't believe this to be an RPi issue, since the RPi wasn't complaining until I connected the JetKVM.
This happened with both the original "as-shipped" firmware versions (couldn't find them), and still happens consistently with the latest updates:
App: 0.3.9
System: 0.2.3
Here's a snippet of the RPi's /var/log/messages file:
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest downloading latest ubuntu ISO and running ubuntu livecd on some spare laptop. Connect HDMI and USB from jetkvm to laptop and see if there is same problem. If there is, then maybe a cable or jetkvm (or power supply?) is a problem. If there is not, then maybe raspberry pi is a problem.
As fun fact - there are cheap devices that show how much power goes through usb-c cable. There are mostly to test what power delivery standard negotiates. If you suspect that maybe jetkvm does not get enough power you could consider buying something like that to verify. Example:

@MrWoodward42 commented on GitHub (Jun 19, 2025):
@rtw819 I had a similar situation: JetKVM connected to Raspberry Pi 1B+ running Rasbian 10. Here's my assessment and workaround for the problem:
Near as I can tell, the JetKVM has the ability to emulate a mounted CD-ROM (or ISO) as a USB device. There is no ISO file selected, but the USB Mass Storage device feature is turned-on by default. Unfortunately, this feature appears to be malfunctioning with your RPiZero and my RPi1B+.
As a workaround, you can disable this feature by going into your JetKVM panel, click the
[⚙ Settings]button, pick the[Hardware]menu option, and under theUSB Devicesection there is a drop-down calledClasses: Pick theCustomoption and uncheck theEnable USB Mass Storageoption and click[Update USB Classes]button to save your new settings.This should get rid of the re-occurring error as it disables the USB Mass Storage feature of the JetKVM (which really is only needed for remotely bootstrapping a computer that has no OS.)
