From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.18 Description of problem: I plug in the LaCie usb hard drive and it is detected by the usual usb mechanism. The ouput of dmesg is attached below. When I click the Computer icon, the disk does not appear, as other usb devices do. This disk used to work for me in FC2 with the old updfstab mechanism. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.2-1.FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plugin the LaCie external usb disk 2. 3. Actual Results: Nothing happens in the desktop Expected Results: The device appears in the Computer icon on the gnome desktop. Additional info:
Created attachment 107858 [details] Output of dmesg
Please attach the output of 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes' when plugging in the disk.
Created attachment 108195 [details] Output of hald I plugged the disk at 13:00 local time, so you can easily identify the corresponding lines in the tail of the file.
Please see if this works with hal-0.4.5 available both in Rawhide and FC3 updates. Thanks
It is not working, sorry
Additionally, the disk is not working at all with kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3. I am back with kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3
Same problem here with 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 and hal-0.4.7-1.FC3. Harddisk is LaCie Bigger disk. Returning to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 alone does not help. dmesg reports >usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in >usb 1-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 >usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using address 3 >usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in >usb 1-2: device not accepting address 3, error -71
I have encounted this bug on several installations of FC3, with several types of LaCie disks. Unforutnately, the bug manifests differently based on the FC3 up2date status and the type of LaCie drive. All LaCie drives were functional with FC1, RHEL3, and Windows XP. 1) On a clean, up2date installation of FC3 with 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and hal-0.4.7-1.FC3, the computer will not recognize a 250GB LaCie Big Drive with drives manufactured by WDC. 250GB LaCie Big Drives with Maxtor drives will work, however. The WDC drives will work if I boot into the original FC3 kernel. 2) A 500GB LaCie Big Drive does not work under either kernel configuration of FC3, though it worked in FC1.
We are now at 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and I still get exactly the same problem. My LaCie's are of the 1 TB variant, with Maxtor drives. They worked flawlessly on FC2 (no idea abt. FC1) and on the first few FC3 kernels. When I forcefully downgrade to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 now though, it still does not work. So I think hal is somehow the culprit ...
This seems to be a kernel bug, not a hal bug. If you want this fixed, file a bug against the kernel (but do try against the latest kernel in Rawhide).
With the kernels 2.6.9 of FC3, my disk was detected, a device appeared in /dev and I could mount it by hand. That's why I send a bug against hal, no kernel problem at those times. It is with the kernels 2.6.10 where the kernel problem appears with my disk. I can wait and see if the <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128602">bug 128602</a> (USB device dies with "control timeout on ep0in") gets solved and after that check if the hal behavior is OK.
Here we are again, now in fedora core 4. After plugged in, the disk is recogniced and a device appear in /dev for it. I can mount it by hand. When I click the Computer icon, the disk does not appear, as other usb devices do. This disk used to work for me in FC2 with the old updfstab mechanism. Below I attach the output of dmesg and hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes

This particular problem is fixed in fc5, with hal-0.5.7-3 and kernel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5
