Updated kernel from 2.4.13 to 2.4.18 patched with linux-2.4.18-rc2-gregkh-1.patch.
The problem of a system hang resulting from "rmmod usb-uhci" that occurred with 2.4.13 does not occur with this new kernel. The shutdown scripts in my Mandrake 8.1 system use such a rmmod command, therefore this hang was a serious nuisance. Operation of a SanDisk ImageMate SDDR-31 Compact Flash reader is now fine with usb-uhci. The alternative, uhci module, which did not hang in 2.4.13, continues to work as before with the new kernel. This means it reads data from a CF card at less than 10% of the speed achieved by usb-uhci (60 Kbytes per second, compared with 730 Kbytes per second). This performance difference is consistent with the report regarding usb-storage from Anders Karlsson on the usb-users list (8 Mar 2002 08:40:21 +0000.) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
