hello, i've got a pontis sp600 mp3player, which can be mounted via usb-storage. unluckily it sometimes crashes my computer, this has happened with 2.4.19 and 2.4.20, but at that time it wasn't really supportet in the vanilla sources. however, someone added the player to drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h in 2.4.21, so i feel free to ask for help now ;-)
i also found two messages about problems with the same device in the archive (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4612529 and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4507906), but no way to solve the problem. if i attach the player to usb, syslog reports: Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] Manufacturer: PONTIS Electronic Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] Product: SP600 - USB Audio Player Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] SerialNumber: 0000000000000001 Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 208 Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] Vendor: PONTIS - Model: SP600 - USB DISK Rev: 0001 Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] SCSI device sda: 500736 512-byte hdwr sectors (256 MB) Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Jun 15 17:06:12 [kernel] on mounting/unmounting this message is shown in syslog: Jun 15 17:23:57 [kernel] Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. writing/reading data usually works, but sometimes my computer just locks up with blinking leds on the keyboard. i have enabled "USB Mass Storage verbose debug", but there seems not much information available after the crash. another funny thing i've noticed: whenever i copy data onto the mp3player, my system load rises to 3, though the cpu is at 1% or so. i'm very interested in tracking this down, if you tell me what information is important to you to solve the problem (verbose output, i could try using the sysrq key, whatever else could be useful), i will try to provide it. regards, wernfried -- -> Fppmpppffpppmpfpffmffmppmpm Mfpmmmmmmfmm -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> mfpfmpfmppfm://fpfppffpmmpppff.ppmfmfmpm.mmmfmp/~mmmppmpppmpppppmffppfppp -> http://www.namesuppressed.com/kenny/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
