Hi everyone, now I just upgraded to Kernel:
#uname -a Linux me 2.4.19-24mdk #1 Thu Jan 30 13:13:07 MST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Because I thought it might be a Kernel issue. As I said everthing worked fine in Mdk 8.2 but it is broken since 9.0. The issue is, that I cannot mount the card anymore. When I plug it in the Notebook (IBM Thinkpad A22p) I get the following output in /var/log/messages: Feb 15 10:40:21 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: hde: 3S SYSTEM, ATA DISK drive Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: hde: 250368 sectors (128 MB) w/2KiB Cache, CHS=978/8/32 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Feb 15 10:40:24 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 Feb 15 10:40:25 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Feb 15 10:40:25 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 Feb 15 10:40:25 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Feb 15 10:40:25 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 The last two lines continue forever if I don't take out the CF card again. While the card is in the system monitor shows me 100% processor activity and top shows me that drakupdate_fstab is running at top but takes up only 10% of of CPU power, so I guess it is the Kernel that needs the rest. # dmesg VFS: Disk change detected on device 21:00 /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 which repeats itself again... in my /etc/fstab I have: /dev/hde1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,user 0 0 which worked just fine in Mdk 8.2. Anyway I think it is not an fstab business because of the /var/log/messages output... I guess I will try to get the old kernel from 8.2 in 9.0 if that works it isn't such a big deal - I just need it to put some mp3 on the CF for the Zaurus, I can do that with a dual boot. But help is still very much apreciated, there may be something wrong with Mdk9.0 or the Kernel they are using... Anyway that is my guess until someone shows me that I was really stupid and forgot the obvious again. some more infos: the 100% CPU use stays a few minutes after I took the CF card out and plugging in the card in the second slot does not help - tha same thing happens... Kernel 2.4.19-16mdk (I guess) which is standard in 9.0 had the same issue, the only one that I tested and worked is the one in 8.2. I keep my newbie and expert mails, it dates back until end of last year. I searched them for Compact Flash and CF card and got no useful messages that indicate this issue has already been addressed. But if it was - please point me to the right direction. Thank you, b.
