Hi:
I am currently using Slackware 9.1 with a custom built kernel (2.4.22). The problem I am having is that sometimes (not always), I can mount my USB memory stick. It happens very infrequently. When I insert, the hotplug support detects it and loads usb-storage and starts two processes (usb-storage-0 and scsi_eh_1). Most (99%) of the time, the mount program freezes when attempting to mount the device, and can only be stopped by waiting and sending kill -9. Thereafter, the device (/dev/sda1) states that it is not a valid black device AND the USB port I tried to use becomes unusable until a restart. Further, the two processes I described earlier are impossible to kill.
Any ideas? I am currently in the process of upgrading to the newest kernel (2.4.23). An additional note is that the ehci-hcd (usb2) module is loaded and I am trying to use it for the higher transfer rates.
Thanks
Mike
