Description of problem:
I was trying to use devlabel to make a link for my Sony Clie.  I used "devlabel

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
devlabel-0.26.08-3
glibc-2.3.2-11.9
kernel-smp-2.4.20-8

How reproducible:
devlabel -s /dev/pilot -d /dev/ttyUSB0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. devlabel -s /dev/pilot -d /dev/ttyUSB0
2.
3.
    
Actual results:
Machine's locked hard.  Stack trace printed to console.

Expected results:
I don't know.  Never got devlabel working.

Additional info:
SMP machine.

Stack trace

Attached is the stack trace.  (Is there any easier way to get the trace beyond
connecting a serial console and redirecting kern.* to /dev/ttyS0?)

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2003-04-05 08:26:40 EST

thanks for the trace.
question: do you have a usb-storage device in use?
If so, I've fixed a bug in that last week which mostly matches with your backtrace

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2003-04-05 12:42:12 EST

never mind; from looking at the USB serial code it looks like it has the same bug ;(

Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2003-04-07 11:53:08 EDT

Yes, it's a usb-serial bug.  I'll look into fixing this.

However, devlabel isn't for usb-serial devices, it will not work with them.
devlabel is only for usb-storage devices.

Comment 7 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 11:40:45 EDT

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
