Subject: Mounting an external USB host-powered ZIP 250 drive hangs in mount()

I cannot seem to mount my external USB host-powered 250 Mb zip-drive in
Linux-2.4.3-ac12. This is a freshly rebooted machine, rebooted with the
zip-drive attached and a zip-disk inside that Windows-2000 will read
without problems.

dmesg:

======================================================================
IRQ 7 is an unshared IRQ.
I've read that the 'READ CAPACITY failed' indicates there is no disk
in the drive - but there is.


/proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1:
Host scsi1: usb-storage
Vendor: Iomega
Product: USB Zip 250
Serial Number: 003240BCC4D11622
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 059b0032003240bcc4d11622

All seems fine, but when I do

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt

the whole kernel hangs, including the keyboard and the network.
Windows-2000 on the same hardware can access the device. If I strace the
mount progress, it hangs in

mount("/dev/sda4", "/mnt", "vfat", 0xc0ed000, 0

I've searched the web, searched the mailing lists at usb/sourceforge,
and I seem to be alone in this.

Hardware:

Abit VP6, dual P3/866
512 Mb memory
gcc-2.95.3
SuSE 7.1 basis
linux-2.4.3-ac12

Kernel config:

CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG_QUEUES=y
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=4
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS=32
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC=20
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT=y

I thought that would do the trick?

Thanks for any help that prevents me from rebooting into Windows-2000
every time!

I see you're using the alternate uhci driver... are hte results the same
with the other UHCI driver?

Can you turn on usb mass storage verbose debuggig (compile option) and then
send me the logs?

I have read in the help-files that that was the one to use on this
VIA694 motherboard.

I'll do that. In the meantime, 2.4.4 does work - so it's something in
the ac12 kernel that prevents it from working. Unfortunately I can't try
ac13 or ac14, since the pcnet32 code doesn't compile in those.
