Description of problem: makebootfat does not find usb sticks any longer with option -o usb (It works on before with F12 on the same hardware) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): makebootfat-1.4-10.fc14.x86_64 Kernel: 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: makebootfat -o usb -Z -Y -v -L MYLABLE -2 ldlinux.bss -m mbrfat.bin -F -c ldlinux.sys image Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert one usb stick 2. call cmd as root Actual results: "Please insert one usb disk." Expected results: A clean formatted USB Device Additional info: Workaround: Give the correct device directly makebootfat -o/dev/sdc -Z -Y -v -L MYLABEL -2 ldlinux.bss -m mbrfat.bin -F -c ldlinux.sys image works! Reasons for the bug: The result of ioctl(h, SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST, hostname) is not longer: "SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices". Its now "usb-storage 2-5:1.0"
Perhaps it is better to specify the exact path (/dev/sdX) -- at least for cases when the system have two or more usb flashes inserted... Could you provide a patch?
The new behavior was introduced here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.35.y.git;a=commit;h=00fa43ef09c6bb357d58c14a99181cce09c315c6
Created attachment 460935 [details] accept new return of ioctl(SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST) introduced with kernel 2.6.35 I am sure there are better ways to fix this problem, but this patch works for me
