Description of problem:
Kernels newer than 2.6.11-1.1312 cannot detect the partition table on my Creative MuVo2.  This means the device is not mounted.

Adam, I know this may sound strange, but please retry this without nVidia
driver loaded. No joke. I saw it affecting USB in very strange ways.
Maybe we were just lucky at and before 1.1312.

Pete - in fact, the nVidia driver isn't loaded.  I'm using the ATI graphics card
at the moment.

Anyway, with kernel 1.1363, while the device is mounted, the partition table
still isn't detected properly.  I'll try again with the final release of FC4 to
see if the partitions are listed.

Comment 6 Pete Zaitcev 2005-06-13 04:58:33 UTC
What was the last kernel that worked, if any?

Also, does this happen when MuVo is plugged into other computers?


Comment 7 Dave Jones 2005-10-06 07:26:29 UTC
also, any improvement with the latest errata ?


Comment 8 Dave Jones 2005-11-10 19:53:11 UTC
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.


Comment 9 Adam Huffman 2006-01-06 10:17:46 UTC
Yes, it works with the latest kernel.  

Comment 10 Adam Huffman 2006-01-06 10:20:08 UTC
Actually, I should clarify.  With the latest kernel, the device is mounted, but
the partition table is still not detected.
