Public bug reported: I have a USB stick which sometimes causes the kernel to completely lock up when I plug it in on my desktop PC. I noticed (but haven't strictly verified it yet) that it seems to happen whenever I used the USB stick on a windows machine before. When it happens, all I can do is a hard reboot. Nothing works, not even the magic sysrq keys. Caps lock has no effect, so I'm assuming a kernel lockup.
Kernel: 2.6.31-18-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 8 14:54:52 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux USB stick: 8GB Transcend Jetflash 8GB OS: Kubuntu 9.10 The same USB stick works without any problems on my laptop under windows+linux, as well as on my desktop PC with a live-CD (of Kubuntu 9.10). Note: I found this bug, which seems similar to the one I have, but with another kernel version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322875 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: mike 2728 F.... knotify4 mike 2752 F.... pulseaudio mike 2778 F.... amarok mike 2804 F.... kmix CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'SB'/'HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC888' Components : 'HDA:10ec0888,1458a002,00100001' Controls : 40 Simple ctrls : 22 Date: Fri Jan 29 20:45:53 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=02b03bbd-b7e2-4ca4-8d01-aed5f9f0f650 MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
