From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Kernel Panic occurs during 'Checking for new hardware' if a SANDISK 8-in-1 card reader is plugged into the USB bus at boot time. Panic is in SCSI_MOD module. If you'll tell me how to capture the stack trace at that time, I will do so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Power off 2.Plug Sandisk device into USB port 3.Boot Actual Results: Crash/panic Expected Results: Clean boot Additional info: System is an ECS P6VEM3 motherboard, with the VIA C3 1.1 GigaPro chipset. Award BIOS dated 11/13/2002. At boot, I also see a message about the BIOS being too old for ACPI (which may or may not be related) and the USB bus is registered and then DEREGISTERED. To use USB, I have to manually 'modprobe usb_controller'.
