Additional error seen in dmesg (Fedora FC2):- ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: urb dada4380 path 1 ep0in 5ec20000 cc 5 --> status -110 I have discovered that this is being discussed in linux-usb-users.net and Alan Stern has written a patch (15 Oct 04) for unusual_devs.h for kernel 2.6.9rc4 This needs incorporation into Fedora Core (Reassigning to fc2 as fc1 is EOL). Is this still a problem in the latest update kernel ? I you mean 2.6.8-1.521, yes, it is more of a problem than 2.6.5-1.358
where there was better recognition but no scsi connection.
It is clear from the list discussion refered to above that there are
firmware bugs in Freecom USB devices which have never been fixed, but
only worked around in the secret-source drivers Freecom submit to
Microsoft. That is why they proudly proclaim that they "support no
unix". However, patches have been written, particularly for CDrom-only
linux demos which need to cope with a wide variety of hardware - I
have had perfect operation with "Mandrake Move" but not with "Mandrake
10.1", both 2.6.8 kernels.

So maybe when up2date supplies a 2.6.9 kernel it will work!
this still causing problems ? Unfortunately, I can't give any more information as I took it back and bought a different make of hard drive which is now working perfectly under Linux. Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
