Hi! i'm using sid, kernel image 2.6.10:
# uname -a Linux quetzalcoatl 2.6.10-1-686-smp #1 SMP Tue Jan 18 03:03:11 EST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux #uptime 17:08:44 up 160 days, 23:47, 1 user, load average: 0.27, 1.02, 1.77 My usb memory was working flawlessly (all 160 days), until today. Then i realize it is no the memory, anything i insert in usb (flash memory, mouse, hard drive, etc.). So, lets take the memory for example: When i inser it: #dmesg usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 46 scsi50 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 46 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: Model: Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 1024000 512-byte hdwr sectors (524 MB) sda: assuming Write Enabled sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 1024000 512-byte hdwr sectors (524 MB) sda: assuming Write Enabled sda: assuming drive cache: write through /dev/scsi/host50/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi50, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 usb-storage: device scan complete and: #ls -alh /dev/sda* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Aug 12 17:06 /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Aug 12 17:06 /dev/sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 10 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 11 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 12 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 13 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 14 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 15 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 7 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 8 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 9 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda9 but, when i disconect it (umounting first): #ls -alh /dev/sda* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 10 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 11 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 12 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 13 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 14 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 15 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 7 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 8 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 9 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sda9 sda and sda1 are gone!! i have to recreate them (whit mknod) each time i disconect someting (flash memory, external hd, etc.) Any ideas why is happening this? kernel bug? module bug? too much time running? hardware failing (intel 865g)? Any ideas how to fix this? reboot? (like windogs?), remove the module and reload it? update kernel? buy a new motherboard? Thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
