Description of problem: (not positive this is HAL) I have no scsi, sata, usb connected. Mount shows only sdb5(boot),sdb6(root),sdb3(swap). Original device.map had (hd0) /dev/sda, (hd1) /dev/sdb. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora6.93 How reproducible: Impossible to get rid of. Steps to Reproduce: 1.open shell tool, type mount:/dev/sdb6 on / type ext3 (rw), /dev/sdb5 on /boot type ext3 (rw), /dev/sdb3 (swap). All these are on hdb. 2.In /dev, the only device starting w/ h is 'hpet'. No hda,hda1...hdb,hdb1,hdb2,etc. 3. Actual results: On boot up I get errors: usb 1-1 device descriptor read error/64 -62 (repeat 4 times), then 'not accepting address 5', 'not accepting address 6'. Expected results: ata/ide identified correctly. usb identified correctly. Additional info: Can send examples of mount, mtab, /proc/partitions, sfdisk, and more if asked.
Remember! I have no sata, usb, scsci (unless CDs are considered scsci) but they should be hdc & hdd. The following is short and from /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 8 0 117220824 sda 8 1 58733608 sda1 8 2 1 sda2 8 5 58484601 sda5 8 16 117220824 sdb 8 17 64228 sdb1 8 18 10185210 sdb2 8 19 2096482 sdb3 8 20 1 sdb4 8 21 112423 sdb5 8 22 20490876 sdb6

Hmm, sorry to rant but - you filed two bugs; it would have been nice if you closed bug 241857 - done that for you - it's not a bug that the devices are named sd* instead of hd*; that's just a side effect of moving from ide to new pata drivers that use the SCSI midlayer internally - which makes sense as recent SATA and all ATAPI is basically just SCSI at the low level anyway - what's in a device name *anyway*? You should never ever depend on device names; use the persistent names in /dev/disk/*; that's what they're there for - the usb errors should be filed as a bug against the kernel; because that's the package the USB drivers originate from - have no idea why you filed this against hal-info Sorry if this response comes across as offensive; it's written in the hope that it will help you file bugs in the future. Thanks!
