Hello all together! Since the FAQ on http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts1 say to submit an entry to the mailinglist if a workaround has been found for a problem, here is one:
I was trying to connect a Delkin eFilm Reader4 (for SmartMedia Cards) which has the Sandisk ImageMate SDDR-09 chipset inside. It was all fine until i started to access the files on the SmartMedia Card. Everytime i tried to access a file, some bytes were read, and then no more access to the files was possible. After some crashes of the machine (Sony Vaio Laptop -- great thing) i used the latest kernel form the gentoo universe (linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r5) and the chrashes did not occur anymore. But the Problem remained. After some hours of investigation on the net, the last thing i tried was to use the usb-uhci instead of the uhci module. IT WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. All the points which were nasty (long mounting time, long file system access) also disappered. Conclusion: The uhci module worked fine except the access to files was not possible (which isnt fine at all). With the usb-uhci module EVERYTHING worked w/out any problems. Hope this helps some troubled souls. Best Regards astifter ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
