done lots more testing here, and i think i've figured out exactly what triggers it: i'm not sure if i mentioned it, but i also have a 5 meter extension cable. it appears this extension is the root of all evil, as i'm only able to reproduce this bug when i use this cable. there's no name or identification on the cable itself, but judging from images i believe it is an "eMagic USB 2.0 extension active repeater" (producers id: UR-502). tried googling it, but only norwegian hits, then again, you might fancy norwegian: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=323781
i do however believe the issue might be in the driver rather than the cable itself, as there are no issues in another known operating system. why the cable works flawlessly when i connect the usb hub to the cable and the iriver to the hub is beyond my imagination, though. -- kernel later than 2.6.20-6 crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
