  Possible attack via Net/Internet under 2.4.20

No, that problem is in versions *before* 2.4.20.

See for example

http://www.sfu.ca/~siegert/linux-security/msg00154.html

There is a serious filesystem bug in 2.4.20 but it only affects ext3
filesystems and there is a very easy patch to fix it in the message
above.  In any case I'd recommend using a more stable filesystem such
as ext2 until things settle down.

Ged.

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay - had to travel.

Maybe there's some difference which matters.  Why don't you take the
.config you had working with 2.4.20 and put it in a 2.4.21 kernel
source tree and run 'make xconfig'?  Don't change anything, just save
the .config, then compare them.

  so let me ask in another way :
 
  which modules are needed to read a usb-card-reader under 2.4.21?
 
  I guess
 
  vfat
  fat
  usb-storage
  usb-uhci
  usbcore
  sd_mod
  scsi_mod
 
  should do it

I'd think that would do it, but I'ds always load sr_mod too.

  Is perhaps anything split for USB under 2.4.21 into several pieces?

Don't know.  Like I said, I've given up with 2.4.x - I think a lot of
the problems are hardware dependent.

  It worked fine under 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 and refuses under 2.4.21

I had similar strange things happening.

  I would continue to use 2.4.20 - but they say there is a severe bug in it.

Which bug?  There are hundreds.  Does it matter to you?

73,
Ged.

No, drop it in, and run make oldconfig  that will prompt you for any
changes, and clean up any things that are no longer present.

thanks,

Perhaps a diff of your two kernel configurations will help.
Did you rebuild and install all the modules?

 Hi Ged,

 tried a diff - but too many options are set to other groups
 so let me ask in another way :

 I guess

 vfat
 fat
 usb-storage
 usb-uhci

 should do it - and they really did it under 2.4.19/20
 but not under 2.4.21

 Is perhaps anything split for USB under 2.4.21 into several pieces?

 It worked fine under 2.4.19 and 2.4.20
 and refuses under 2.4.21

 A long time ago I took the config in /boot from RedHat-2.4.18-3
 and chanched it for my purposes till 2.4.20 - and never probs!

 I would continue to use 2.4.20 - but they say there is a severe bug in it.

 Perhaps anybody out there, who knows the solution ...

 now I was looking around
 make xconfig # nothing wrong found

 then I did test my USB-webcam

 xawtv # webcam okay

 now I tried a new mount of compact-flash - and it WORKS !!!

 then I made a

 umount /mnt/compactflash

 and I did a retry of mount - and it did again !!!

sd_mod 12508  12
scsi_mod  105172   5  [usb-storage sr_mod ncr53c8]

 Now I do not know what's the real problem ... timing?

 modules.conf is saying :

alias usb-controller usb-uhci

 but usb-uhci keeps 'unused'

 Guess I have to make several REBOOTs and retries
 to get to know more about that.

 One point is under 2.4.21
 after an umount and a remount it keeps sde1

 while it increased under 2.4.20 (and earlier) to sdf1,sdg1, ...
 but till 2.4.20 I had sudden access.

 After some reboots and tests I will come back.

 Thanks till here.
