Kernel 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 and USB Storage Devices

[Aly Dharshi]

Hello All,

I hope that you are well. I have a 6.0GB Seagate ST660211USB device 
which previously used to get magically automounted and an icon showed up 
on screen, I know that there are some threads about this flying about.

Does this kernel resolve this particular issue, if not what sort of 
information can I provide inorder to help troubleshoot:

[root@edtnas67 dharshi]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 17:33:07 
EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

This is the dmesg output:

Might this be related to  the following Bugzilla report?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249282

Thanks Richard,

This is what I was looking for what I did was in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/05-udev-early.rules I commented out the line:

#ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="?*", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="modprobe 
$env{MODALIAS}", GOTO="skip_wait"

and things started working again, I am running the above mentioned 
kernel, I understand that there is another kernel in update-testing, 
will try it when its finally in updates to see if that version + a newer 
version of udev fixes the problem.

Cheers,

Aly.

udev-113-7.fc7.i386.rpm from updates/testing solves the problem...

Yeah that is probably in update-testing the latest in updates is 
probably udev-106-4.1.fc7 I can wait.

I could not see this in updates testing - is it on its way there but not yet
arrived?

Strange that it is not on the fedora site at

My bad - I just realised I had a cached page - updating does indeed show that
it is there!

Sorry...

Did you enable the repository?
   yum --enablerepo=updates-testing check-update

I am usually not in enough of a hurry to look manually.

BTW: this has zero to do with the kernel, obviously, subject not 
withstanding.

No the new kernel 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 does not resolve the USB storage problem.
In fact my usb flash drive stoped mounting automatically. I am not sure if
it started with kernel 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 or 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 all I know is
after I had 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 installed it stoped mounting USB flash drives.
What point is the bug report on 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 which is the old kernel when
it has become broken in 2.6.22.1-33.fc7& they still have not resolved the
bug.
I would like my USB flash drive automatically mounted once again.
