 |
|
Hi ppl, I have the following problem.
I have an external USB drive, connected to one of my USB 2.0 ports.
When the disk is connected on boot, hotplug seg faults. When the disk is not connected, boot is succesful.
I added the usb-storage module in modules.autoload, to keep hotplug from loading it, and now the machine boots ok when the disk is plugged in. However, if I do a shutdown while the disk is mounted, the kernel seg faults again when unmounting local filesystems (umount fails).
I have an A7V600-X motherboard, and use a 2.6.6-love4 kernel. There are no such issues under gentoo-sources 2.4.25.
Anyone knows anything more on this?
Thanks,
MrZammler |

try some other source than love-sources - love sources isn't stable or predictable, so stop using it!
gentoo-development-sources are great.

I have always autoloaded the module so I can't confirm the bootup thing, but I do have the same problem on shutdown with a usb flash drive. I'm also using 2.6.6-love4, and while a great kernel, it may, as furiorc said, be related to that. Or it may be related to the 2.6 headers, udev, over-aggressive CFLAGS, or any other number of crazy things I'm using ATM. however, I've wondered about doing a umount /dev/usbstick && modprobe -r usb-storage in local.stop, to try to work around it, but I haven't gotten to it yet, so let me know of any success you have. I'd also thought of re-compiling umount with sane CFLAGS, if your CFLAGS are also crazy, you might try that.

The bootup problem is there with all the 2.6.x kernel's i've tried (mm-sources), and I think it is related to hotplug. I hadnt though noticed the shutdown one with other kernels, but that might be because I might never had the usb mounted at shutdown.
@Nate_S:
I was thinking the same thing (ie. putting umount in local.stop), will try this sometime tommorow and let you know. Thing is though, that my usb devices dont have specific mount points, but I think I can work around this. |

| I've installed mm4 2.6.6, and although the bootup thing seems fixed, it still oops when unmounting at shutdown... |
