Hello,

I have already written to this list about my problem introduced with the
2.6.7-rc3 kernel.

When I plug my memory stick, I got this :

Jun 12 13:26:25 greg kernel: usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using address 3
Jun 12 13:26:25 greg kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

My other USB mass storage device (a 8-1 cards reader) works just fine with
this 2.6.7-rc3 kernel.

The partition as shown in fdisk on this kernel is :

Disk /dev/sdg: 520 MB, 520092160 bytes
16 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 992 * 512 = 507904 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

If I reboot with 2.6.7-rc2 (and remove the Memory Stick, otherwise I don't
have my device in same order, I haven't found out how to solve this issue)
I got the following in putting the Memory Stick in :

Jun 12 13:40:01 greg kernel: usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using address 3

NOTICE the partition is recognized...

And fdisk tells me :

Partition table entries are not in disk order

And I can mount it and use it perfectly ;-)

Any idea what's wrong with 2.6.7-rc3 ?

Thank you very much and have a great day !!!

PLEASE: CC to me as I only read this list though NNTP :-)
