Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 Version: 2.6.8-13 Severity: important
When I plug in a LaCie 40Gb USB 2.0 disk, which is a SCSI disk transported over USB, the entire USB subsystem seems to freeze. Specifically, cat /proc/bus/usb/devices never exits, usbview never puts up its window, etc. These process are unkillable via sudo kill -9 NNNNN. On the initial plug-in, I see this in /var/log/syslog: Mar 14 22:32:46 gpk kernel: usb 2-2.1: new full speed USB device using address 5 Mar 14 22:32:47 gpk kernel: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Mar 14 22:32:47 gpk usb.agent[30158]: usb-storage: already loaded (USB storage is already loaded because I plugged in a different disk earlier, and it worked very nicely.) No disk appears in /dev (using udev). Unplugging the disk does not cause any lines to appear in /var/log/syslog, nor does plugging it in again.
