Hi, So just try same think with "sync" and tell us if it work ... no same situation even with sync. After some time it get freezed. Perhaps a bug on kernel too, try another kernel : vanilla-sources for example vanilla has no gentoo patch, perhaps a bug in this, need to try Do you use genkernel ? or make kernel conf yourself ? Well i've not tried with a vanilla kernel, since i think this problem is due to some kernel bug since i've tested the setup with a non-unistalled old kernel 2.6.15 at it has the same behaviour. I've tested also all the possibilites you've told me but still no result.

Re: [gentoo-user] USB freezes the machine...
Hi all, I seem to recall that loading multiple USB controller drivers can cause problems on some systems. You might try unloading all of these with rmmod, then loading just one, and see if your drive will work. I believe for most systems the ehci_hcd driver would be the preferred one. Posting your dmesg output might also help. It's more that one year that i have gentoo installed on my laptop and other desktop computers. Everything was working very well with these three controller 'til now In my system uhci is required by the USB mouse for it to work. I've tried to unload ohci (so keeping ehci (USB 2.0) and uhci (USB 1.1)) but the system keeps freezing. As the attachment you can find my dmesg. Cheers, m out_dmesg Description: Binary data

Newer versions of udev (particularly 103) can also load kernel modules, which definitely can effect the operation of the device and can cause the system to hang. Well udev can load modules, but if that causes the system to hang, it is almost certainly a bug in that module.

Since then i've experienced complete freezes of the machine (nothing responds, even external ping on the network) when USB devices are mounted. In case nothing is connected to the USB drive the machine can stay online without *any* freeze. The only thing i've done is to create local udev rules to facilitate the mounting of these devices: this is an example of its structure. As you know as of udev-089 some keyword has changed (as SYSFS--> ATTRS). Before this upgrade everything was working correctly. All udev does is create device nodes...it cannot effect the operation of the device or cause the system to hang. I suspect a hardware problem appeared at the same time as your update. What if you unplug the device while the system is hung? Does it clear up? Have you tried other USB disks? How about other USB devices, like printers or scanners? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
