Sounds like the Flash Voyager device is broken. Does it work with other computers?
It works very well under Windows. Independent if it's broken or not, it should work under Linux as well. Otherwise users would say Linux is shit because it's not compatibel.
Created attachment 11436 [details] Increase the initial device-descriptor-fetch timeout Oh, okay. You didn't mention before that it worked okay under Windows. Try this patch for 2.6.21 and see if it makes any difference.
Created attachment 11457 [details] Syslog output No sorry, patch doesn't work. usb-storage get's in an endless loop. Had to remove the module to stop filling the logfile. Removing only the stick doesn't stop logging usb-storage. Maybe this is a bug in module usb-storage.
Oh, no -- you're completely wrong. The patch worked perfectly. So did the Flash Voyager, as far as I can tell. To prevent the driver from filling up your logfile with all those messages, all you have to do is turn off CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG and rebuild the usb-storage module. Try doing that and then see if you can mount and read your stick.
You are right. The debug output confused me and I had no time to check this because I tried this at work. It's working now very well. Thanks for the quick fix. I'm closing the bug now.
