Description Juan Antonio Martinez 2004-11-16 18:24:40 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)

Description of problem:
Fresh install of FC3 + upgrades in an Athlon 1700+

Every time i insert a usb-2.0 pendrive, system freezes.
Removing it has no effect. I have to turn off computer

FC1 and RH9 works fine in same PC (USB-1.1 uhci-hcd module)

I've tried also acpi=off (as read somewhere). Still freezes

Seems that hotplug detect insertion ( some times syslog
shows standard -but incomplete- message on usb-storage
detection ), but device cannot be initialized as sda1

preload of usb-storage modules doesn't change matter

I also have in the system a sym53c8xx SCSI PCI card 
with no devices attached. module is preloaded in initrd


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.9-1.667

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start FC3 either in graphic or text mode
2.Plug a usb memory stick
3.
    

Actual Results:  System freezes. Sometimes a truncated log is shown in
console

Expected Results:  pendrive automounted as /media/USBDISK

Additional info:

Here comes log from inserting event in a working RH9 environment:
 
with first pendrive (Woxter)

In Fedora Core 3 these messages sometimes start to appear, but system
freezes inmediatly

Comment 1 Juan Antonio Martinez 2004-11-17 07:39:17 UTC
rmmod'ing sym53c8xx and scsi stuff has no effect: system still freezes

Comment 2 Juan Antonio Martinez 2004-11-17 07:58:25 UTC
More info: this is the malfunctioning device:

( VIA motherboard )

00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1
Controller (rev 1a) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. (Wrong ID) USB Controller
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at d400 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

I've been reported this problem in other intel machines. 

Comment 3 Juan Antonio Martinez 2004-11-17 19:33:24 UTC
Solved:
Updating kernel to version kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3.i686.rpm
(from fedora updates ) problem goes away
