For reasons external to this issue, I needed to re-installed 9.04 on my
systemdon't ask. Starting with a fresh 9.04 and applying only the
karmic packages as outlined by Amr in an earlier post, my system now
recognizes both of my Sansa players (one rockbox and one with original
firmware). My
Amr, I've got an e260 running rockbox and an e270 running the original
Sansa firmware. Both players fail to mount on my current installation.
I've applied the karmic packages. It must be something specific to my
setup as the karmic packages seem to be fixing the issue for others. Oh
well, for now
No joy for me with the karmic packages. I performed a dpkg install of
the two .deb packages, but I'm still getting the waiting for device to
settle before scanning output from the dmesg output. Maybe I'm doing
something wrong.

I haven't been able to get my Sansa e260 to mount. Martin, I tested the version
from your PPA with no luck. My Sansa has the rockbox firmware installed and my
PC is running Jaunty - Kubuntu. My dmesg output is similar to what others have
reported:
36210.080033] usb 1-9: new high speed USB
I seem to have a similar configuration to Martin's. I'm running the
latest patches for Jaunty (kernel info below). I've tried both a Sansa
e260 with Rockbox installed and a Sansa e270 with the original Sansa OS.
In both cases, the player toggles between the Connected and
Disconnected screen 3 or 4
I've finally solved what turned out to the the root problem on my
system. I ran the memory test on the install CD and it turned out that
one of my sticks had some bad memory segments. So in a nutshell, the
installation of 8.04 was able to succeed even with some bad memory, but
the 8.10 and 9.04
I've run a few more tests on my system with no luck in terms of being
able to install 9.04. I disconnected my ATA DVD from the motherboard and
replaced with an IDE DVD. Under this configuration none of the ATA
inputs were being used on the motherboard. When I attempted to install
9.04 in aborted
I haven't found a way to successfully boot up either 8.10 or 9.04 with
my hardware setup (see my post on April 28). My next attempt will be to
swap out the ATA DVD writer for an IDE one. My system was very stable
back on 7.10 (and earlier) and is also fairly good on 8.04 (current
configuration) so
I encountered the same issue when I originally upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. When
I first upgraded to 8.10, I started seeing the ata5: SRST failed (error = -16)
error. I'd see the error multiple times and then the boot process would drop
to the BusyBox shell. At this point I could exit the shell
