I have 2 CF card readers, which I wanted to use with Linux. I've even
bought one of them (SanDisk SDDR-75) because it was reported on quite few
places that it works with Linux.
Readers are:
Apacer AP-MSCRU10 (3-slot reader)
SanDisk SDDR-75 (2-slot reader)
What happens is that when I copy files to CF cards, I get unexpected
behaviours. I will concentrate on Apacer right now, since it seems to
'behave' better than SanDisk, and I'd like to make at least one of them
work. Both of them do hang the machine, though.
With Apacer, things seem to work, /dev/sda1 is mounted properly, but when
I copy files to it, it tends to completely hang the machine. Sometimes, I
can mount it few times in a row, and everything works okay. Once out of 5
times (statistically speaking :) it will completely hang the box, when
copy operation is in progress.
I connected serial console, but when machine hangs nothing comes out. No
errors. It freezes suddenly and completely, and sometimes HDD LED remains
ON, and sometimes not.
This is what remains in the log:
... removed lots of output that is similar to following...

"usb-storage: usb_stor_transfer_parApr 22" can be seen at the last line.
It never manages to write full string, and every time machine hangs, this
is the exact same output
(...usb_stor_transfer_parSYSLOGD_RESTART_MESSAGE).
This happens on both 2.4.25 and 2.4.26.

System is XP2500, 1GB RAM (HIMEM enabled, although it freezes kernel
compiled with HIMEM disabled, as well), nForce2 motherboard.
I also have Nikon CoolPix 4300 camera, and when it is connected via USB
port, everything works just fine. I can copy files to CF card in the
camera, and never had a crash with it. It is single-slot CF camera; not
sure if it makes some difference.
CF cards were 16, 128 and 256MB. 16MB is NIKON (although it has SanDisk
logo on it), and other two are SanDisk.
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is set to y, btw. I've also tried adding 'options
scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=X' in /etc/modules.conf, where X was anything from
1 to 6 (also tried removing ide-scsi modules, before inserting readers).
I am not sure what other information (kernel .config, etc.) I should
provide, and don't want to send 100KB of redundant attachments, so any
help or pointers on how to solve this, or what else to provide, is more
than welcome.
Thanks.
