OK I have done another test session :)

1. with kernel kernel-enterprise-2.4.21.0.pre3.2mdk-1-1mdk
removing harddrake had no influence. The boot still hang if you have played 
with usb devices before rebooting (unplug replug at other usb ports etc)

2. with latest kernel kernel-enterprise-2.4.21.0.pre4.1mdk-1-1mdk
NO MORE HANGS :)
So now chmouel you can breathe again. seems the pre4 stuff has fixed the

PS: latest kernel installation complained that the label 2421-1ent already

Might be very useful to look at the code for that-- SanDisk can use 
memory cards as virtual disks. Some IBM Microdisks work on a similar 
theme driver-wise, as there are both PCMCIA and memory card reader 
adapters for same. Essentially, SanDisk has what they call\classify as a 
virtual drive adapter, but it is mostly an IC memory module reader for 
one of their module lines. Large IC cards with 256 MB and up were made 
for high-density digital cameras, and  it was convenient to have readers 
that handled them as HDs for older PCs that were USB capable but not USB 
2.0 capable. In the US, about 5 variants of this theme exist (IC card as 
virtual HD, reversing the SWAP idea for portability of data 
convenience). Take a pocket sized reader, floppy or CD with drivers, and 
high capacity card to any USB capable box, install drivers, run and 
carry decent sized chunks of data in tiny package about size of a CD 
Business card to any box that will take the data and has USB capable 
O/S. Some of these run at USB 2.0 rates.

Sounds exactly like what I have been seeing, but only on the second

I've got an Acom Data 80 GB external USB 2.0 drive.  It works fine if I
plug it into a USB 1.1 port at lower speeds.  If I connect it to a USB
2.0 port, it will mount, but when I start transferring large amounts of

Are you connecting to a USB 2.0 port?  Does any of what I have said

USB disk drive problems - was Re: [Cooker] kernel panic debugging

2003-01-24 Thread Owen Savill
Here are some `funnies' that I have found with USB hard disks. Strictly 
off topic for `Re: [Cooker] kernel panic debugging' but it may help.

1) Some USB disk drives will also cause a kernel panic if plugged in 
during a boot. These tend to be the `in caddy' type rather than the key 
fob type. Solution in this case is only to plug them in after the boot 
has finished. Harddrake doesn't help with this one at all.

2)
Take a PC with two USB ports and refer to them as A and B.
Plug a USB disk drive (of any type) into A.
Mount it, (do some accesses if you wish) and unmount it.
Leave the PC for a while (no exact timings available)
Plug ANOTHER USB disk into A and attempt to mount it.
   Error appears typically stating that /dev/sdaX is not a mountable
   volume
Plug same drive into B and attempt to mount it.
   Success
Plug the original drive into A and attempt to mount it.
   Success

Result:
   Both USB ports are now hard wired to only accept specific hard discs!
   A reboot is required to use other disck drives.
   If by any chance another disk drive does actually mount the system
   will always lock solid usually during a copy or move to the USB disc.


3) There is a kernel patch for the SanDisk USB disk caddies but this 
does not appear to have been incoporated into the Mandrake kernel.

Thanks,
Owen

I had this same symptom with the last cooker kernel that supported XFS 
(that was 2.4.20.2mdk, newest kernels don't have XFS compiled in) as 
well as filesystem corruption.
Didn't report it since I'm not running cooker (just trying out kernels

I have another machine at home running this kernel without any problems.

If I remember well, the kernel panics on an ext2 fs error. But I checked all 
FS successfully in mdk rescue mode and the kernel 2.4.20-2mdkenterprise runs 
without problems on this machine (I'm writing this email from it).

pretty much standard, after the oops are you able to pass that via the
ksymoops util ? (see: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

hum, the panic occurs in /etc/rc.sysinit during the mv of the ksyms.? files so 
I don't have any oops file available.

are mdk kernels patched like described in :
Patch the kernel with one of the crash dump patches.  These save
data to a floppy disk or video rom or a swap partition.  None of
these are standard kernel patches so you have to find and apply
them yourself.  Search kernel archives for kmsgdump, lkcd and
oops+smram.

if not I'll try the serial console then on another mdk machine to capture the 
output.

# permitting the transfer of multiple sectors per I/O interrupt,
# rather than the usual one sector per interrupt.  When this feature
# is enabled, it typically reduces operating system overhead for disk
# I/O by 30-50%.  On many systems, it also provides increased data
# throughput of anywhere from 5% to 50%.  Some drives, however (most
# notably the WD Caviar series), seem to run slower with multiple mode
# enabled. Under rare circumstances, such failures can result in
# massive filesystem corruption. USE WITH CAUTION AND BACKUP.
# This is the sector count for multiple sector I/O - the -m option

# Add extra parameters here if wanted
# On reasonably new hardware, you may want to try -X66, -X67 or -X68
# Other flags you might want to experiment with are -u1, -a and -m
# See the hdparm manpage (man hdparm) for details and more options.
