Yes, this is what I am looking for. The information is not entirely conclusive though, especially the fact that the first few SCSI commands succeed (Inquiry, Read Capacity, Mode Sense) while the first or one of the first SCSI read commands fails.
What can be seen though is that this device belongs to a group of known buggy ones. a) It poses as "Direct-Access" instead of "Direct-Access- RBC". This is not wrong in itself, but many of those devices really are RBC devices, i.e. support a different command set than "Direct-Access" = SBC. b) "sda: cache data unavailable" = The device generated bogus Mode Sense data. I suspect this device is based on a (buggy) Initio bridge, not on a (buggy) Prolific bridge as in bug #39257. However, the regression could have the same cause. This means, it may be fixed in more recent releases at kernel.org; and hopefully the upcoming Ubuntu 6.10 might work better for you. If you want to get fixes for Ubuntu 6.06 though, I need - one or more volunteers who recompile and test the kernel with patches, - to get myself an Ubuntu kernel source tree to generate patches for you (I am not a Ubuntu user), - and the Ubuntu developers would have to agree to take patches for 6.06's kernel _if_ we find working patches. -- Firewire connection not being correctly mounted in 6.06 https://launchpad.net/bugs/53746 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
