Hi, we've some 6-in-1 usb card reader which causes problems when loading the mass-storage device. It detects four devices but tells stuff like
Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: sda : READ CAPACITY failed. Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: Additional sense indicates Medium not present Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 2097144 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 2097144 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: unable to read partition table Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. Feb 16 12:05:08 riemann kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. and the same for sdb to sdd. Unfortunately, this causes some delays at several points, e.g. whn trying "fdisk -l" or when starting KDE etc. then everything hangs for up to 20 seconds while the log fills with the messages above. Anyway, we don't need these devices at the moment, so we would just like to disable them without disabling USB in general. Is there a way to tell the hotplug system/mass-storage driver to ignore certain devices? Disconnection the reader is not an option as the PCs are dualboot and the card readers are used in Windows. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
