All the bugs I have found have already been reported except this one:
usb with mass-storage driver doesnt work too well. Ill try to describe as
much as I can.
Fresh boot up of system, plug the usb device into the usb port (archos 6g
jukebox). usb recognizes a device, but doesnt load the usb-storage
driver. I modprobe usb-storage. a little better, but the dependant
module sd_mod doesnt get loaded. so I load the sd_mod. better, but now
the kernel doesnt recognize usb-storage. so I unload/reload that.
whoo-hoo! usb device at sda1!. I mount the driver with out any problems.
I try to edit the id3 tags on an mp3 (doesnt matter which software I use,
or which mp3. this always happens) and I get:

I imagine this is probable a kernel bug and not a mandrake specific one,
however I do have 2 questions:
1) what if any patches are in the 2.4.17-10 kernel for 8.2 beta? The
reason
I ask is that I had no problem using 2.4.17, but when I upgraded to the
2.4.17 preempt patch, this happened.
2) why am I having the module problems? i.e. why when I modprobe
usb-storage, does sd_mod not get insmod'ed, and then why does it not
recognise usb-storage?
I hope I have given all the info I needed, please let me know if you need
any more, or if im on drugs.
David
