Please CC me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I'm not subscribed. I'm using kernel 2.6.8.1 (from Mandrake 10.1 I usually like to build a custom kernel for each machine we've got).
I've recently taken to using USB Flash "Disks" to carry stuff around on and I've not had any problems except on one machine.with exclusively SCSI disks (apart from the DVD writer). I don't have any problem mounting the disks but when I want to remove them the USB support seems to get itself into a knot - I can unmount them OK but when I physically detach them the USB stuff gets itself entangled waiting for an interrupt that never happens - I get "Immortal" processes - if I do cat /proc/bus/usb/devices or anything such as usbview which does the same thing the process becomes "immortal" and a creeping paralysis seems to come over the system so I have to reboot - and of course with so many directories being open everything has to be fsck-ed. I have the same kernel and general setup on 4 other machines with only IDE disks and have no problem plugging and unplugging flash disks. Could anyone advise what I can do? I'll be pleased to send configuration info or provide login information so you can poke around yourselves. -- John Collins Xi Software Ltd www.xisl.com Tel: +44 (0)1707 886110 (Direct) +44 (0)7799 113162 (Mobile) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
