That was probably something I wrote about a completely different device. That other device just would not work at all 90% of the time. Your device has quite a different problem: it works, but now and then the GeneSys controller hangs or crashes. > I don't know if > it could be a solution and why it works in such a way, but maybe it > could be a good thing to look around that. > > Furthermore, there is some good documentations (it seems complete and > detailled) about this device at this page : > http://www.genesyslogic.com/econtents/product02.asp?minicidx=2&lastcidx=3&SN=32 > http://www.genesyslogic.com/eimages_tech/GL811_r13.pdf I looked at them. They don't contain any useful information; all they say is that the controller implements the various USB and ATA/ATAPI standards. That is true, but it doesn't implement them well enough to work reliably. Have you tried getting in touch with anyone in the technical department at GeneSys Logic Inc. to ask them why their devices don't work under Linux? That's probably the only way to figure out what the problem is. Only they have the knowledge and resources to determine what's going wrong inside their controllers.
