Re: Kernel 3.4 behaves weirdly with flash drives

This issue is not present in the 3.3 kernel. I was wondering if any one else is facing the same issue? This is a known issue in the 3.4 kernel, a fix is being worked on upstream, see: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/65976 I think it is worth considering adding the proposed fix to the Fedora 3.4 kernels for now, as it seems a lot of people are bitten by this, and the proposed fix is pretty save.

I've increased the installonly_limit in yum.conf to keep 3.3 around for the time being. Any hints/fixes? :) You don't need to do that. If you're booted into the 3.3 kernel, yum shouldn't remove it. It'll just update one of the 2 3.4 kernels you have installed instead. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
