This bug may be a duplicate of #302960 - HOWEVER, I saw mention of the Nokia 5310 in the changelog for kernel 2.6.28 but no mention of Iomega anywhere. The Nokia could very well be working now (I don't have one to test) but my drive definitely still does not work with kernel 2.6.28 - and I'd hate to have the Nokia ticket closed as "fixed" with my drive still not working, which is why I created this bug report. I attached uname -a, dmesg before I plug drive in, dmesg right after I plug drive in, dmesg 10 seconds later when high cpu starts, lspci -vvnn with drive plugged in, and lsusb -v with drive plugged in. I haven't updated this pc with the latest Intrepid updates yet, however the updates do not matter as I've tried on another pc with the updates installed with same issue occuring. Here is a sample of what is in my dmesg log when the problem is in action: [ 1098.962847] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense information [ 1098.963971] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [ 1098.963976] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense information [ 1098.965216] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [ 1098.965222] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense information [ 1098.966343] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [ 1098.966348] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense information [ 1098.967468] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current] (continues indefinitely until drive is unplugged) Please do not hesitate to ask for more information, just tell me how to get it (me very noob) - I'd love to see this fixed so I can actually use my laptop to watch my videos which are all stored on the external hdd. ** Tags added: error external hdd iomega sense usb -- Iomega External USB HDD not showing in /dev, causing high CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
