Subject: USB MemoryStick reader and 2.5.66

Hi,

Is the usb storage driver supposed to work in the latest kernels, or
is there somewhere a big pile of scsi / usb-storage patches waiting
to be integrated and I shouldn't bother with that until then ?

This is with an internal USB Memory Stick reader on a Sony Vaio C1VE,
which works just fine in 2.4, but in 2.5 it doesn't even gets
recognized (hotplug ?). If I modprobe usb-storage manually the
module loads just fine:
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Sony Model: MSC-U01N Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

But then any attempt to mount it or even 'dd if=/dev/sda' hangs
forever, the only messages I have in kernel logs are below.

Is someone interesting in a more complete bug report or should I
test something else ?

Thanks,

Stelian.

No it should work. I just used a usb cdrom successfully with 2.5.66.

Could you enter this into bugzilla.kernel.org? Then I can assign it to
the usb-storage maintainer :)

It doesn't work for me, with the memory stick reader or an external
usb floppy drive.

Sure, bug #510. ( http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510 )

Thanks,
