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.
Can you provide lspci and lsusb output?
Yes, assuming they function after the drive is plugged in. (But not till this evening.)
Do you have another system (same or different) running the same kernel that you can try plugging the drive into?
No, not the exact same version.
Can you try a newer kernel from unstable and see if it has the problem?
Will do, this evening.
Do you have a different USB drive you try plugging in the system?
Yes; I have one that isn't a SCSI drive. It works fine. I used it last night, after a reboot.
These things might help narrow down the problem, please post whatever results you have time to gather.
