Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
Before I begin, I have found three other bug reports which may be related (in which case, you may wish to group these): 1) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/40561 2) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/54419 3) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/50665 I cannot properly mount a SanDisk 256Mb USB2.0 flash drive. It mounted perfectly in Dapper 6.06 32-bit (and prior versions), but after spending two days on the problem, it seems it must be a failure of some sort at the kernel level. More information on these threads (other users, my own troubleshooting, etc...): Ubuntu Forum: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192957 Just Linux Forum: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146728 Essentially, the system cannot mount the USB flash drive while providing writing privileges to either user or root. Furthermore, the system seems to be hopping USB ID's with every reboot - the same port with the same USB drive shows up as sda1, sdb1, sdc1, and (this evening) sdd1. I can attest that the USB drive itself is fine and works with other systems (it's also vfat and not ntfs). ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Summary changed: - Dapper 64-bit cannot mount USB flash drive in r/w mode + Dapper 64-bit/kernel cannot mount USB flash drive in r/w mode ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15 Before I begin, I have found three other bug reports which may be related (in which case, you may wish to group these): 1) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/40561 2) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/54419 3) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/50665 - I cannot mount a SanDisk 256Mb USB2.0 flash drive.
