That's a good start. > BUT only if the kernel option > CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_RW_DETECT is not set! If this option is set, mounting > the camera fails with the same errors described before. That's why RW_DETECT was left as a configuration option, so that people could turn it off if they have buggy devices. Although perhaps making it a module parameter instead would be a better approach... How did you realize that the RW_DETECT setting was causing a problem? > Furthermore there's a problem with the "haldaemon" that's started by > default on Fedora Core 3 systems.

Can you capture the system log (maybe by using a serial console) so that we can see what usb-storage debugging says just before the system freezes? Also, I don't know what "haldaemon" is or what it does.

Okay, it's good to know that the patch does have the same effect as the echo to /proc/scsi/device_info. > Nevertheless I had the > same problems that I had with the echo version: > "CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_RW_DETECT" has to be switched of and the "haldaemon" > must not be running! > > Thanks again! > Greetings, > Dietrich Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
