> Andries, what kind of USB problems did you have with 2.5.16? I hoped that everybody would have problems, so that the source of the problems would be immediately obvious to someone who knows USB and the recent changes better.
I have only vague reports. Do "insmod usb-storage". The insmod hangs. With earlier kernel versions I often saw a stalled pipe, but that was never fatal. But now it was. Once I caused a kernel reboot by disconnecting a USB device. I tried a USB keyboard, and it was fine. The problems were only with usb-storage. First I blamed my patch, but a vanilla 2.5.16 exhibits identical behaviour. More precisely, I tried three UHCI drivers, and two showed the same behaviour, and the third did not compile. So, if nobody else immediately recognizes the problem I must wait until there is some time and then go slowly through the changes between 2.5.14, that works, and 2.5.16, that doesn't work. Maybe this evening. More likely, next weekend. Andries Is it documented someplace what requirements a driver should obey? It feels as if several usb-storage things are not in a perfect shape. But I know so little about the surroundings. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
