Comment 1 Pete Zaitcev 2006-03-29 08:51:58 UTC
The -32 is a stall. Device refuses to perform the descriptor read,
which is quite wild. Usually it's a bad device, but in this case the
requestor says "None of deviceS".

Is there a kernel which works? FC-4? Anything?

What is wrong with error messages? They obviously were passed through
e-mail a few times. Does this happen on requestor's box or elsewhere?


Comment 2 Dhanesh Ramachandram 2006-03-29 09:02:07 UTC
Hi,

sorry, the error messages did pass through e-mail several times. :-). The
devices in question, I have tested 3 of them, worked well with FC4. This problem
is evident on two of my computers a Dell D600 Laptop and a Dell Precision
Workstation. 
Does this have anything to do with the removal of fstab-sync in FC5 ? 

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2006-03-29 18:37:17 UTC
No, it's purely a kernel issue, if anything.

Why don't you attach a full dmesg? Please do not drop it into comments box.

dmesg 

here's the dmesg output. towards the end of the file, you'll note that when I
insert the usb1.1 device, error-32 is generated. next, i inserted a usb2.0
removable hardisk, but no icon is shown on the gnome desktop. neither can i use
gnome-mount or mount command to mount these devices. Additionaly, it may help
to note that the removable disks either have FAT or NTFS partitions.

Comment 6 Red Crayon 2006-08-30 20:16:40 UTC
I am having similar problem.  error-110

I have used this exact-same thumbdrive on FC5
on other machines, without ANY problems.

On this new machine, it won't (auto)mount.

If I (re)boot with the memory stick in place,
it is mounted and works.  So something works...
it's just not hot-pluggable.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 20:46:34 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 9 Riku Seppala 2007-07-02 11:20:52 UTC
same problem... (error -110) f7 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

modprobe -r ehci-hcd makes it work, but I shouldn't have to type that everytime
I plug in my camera.
