When connecting the Iomega HDD to the USB port, it is detected and after a stabilization period lots of error messages are produced. Eventually I have to remove (unplug) the device. With my previous kernel (2.6.25 series) the same device would mount in the same hub with no problem. This bug is identical to Bugzilla Bug 250789, only that it is for a different external device. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.plug device... 2.check dmesg 3. Actual Results: Lots of errors are reported and no /dev/sd entry is created. The messages look like: Feb 6 18:17:38 panda sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x0 [current] Feb 6 18:17:38 panda sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 repeated hundreds of times. Expected Results: Device mounted as /dev/sdb1 I am attaching a dmesg log of the current kernel compiled with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y I am also attaching the kernel config file. emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_3.40GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/mirror/Gentoo" LANG="en_US" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/data/tmp/" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" " USE="3dnow R X Xaw3d a52 aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 asf berkdb blas bluetooth branding bzip2 bzlib cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus directfb djvu doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emacs emboss encode esd evo exif fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimp gnome gpgme gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv imap ipv6 isdnlog jpeg lapack latex lcms ldap libnotify logrotate mad mbox midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session silc skey speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tetex tiff tk truetype unicode usb vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx vesa vga" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Can I see /proc/bus/usb/devices with your device plugged and the output of lsusb -v

Created attachment 182934 [details] contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices with iomega drive attached
Created attachment 182936 [details] output of lsusb -v with iomega drive attached
Is there a more descriptive name of this device? Some examples are "Zip 100" or "Digital Camera EX-20 DSC"
Created attachment 183019 [details, diff] patch for iomega portable hdd Can you apply this patch against your gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r8 and let me know if this helps at all? you can apply this patch by going into your /usr/src/linux directory and typing: patch -p1 < iomega-portable-hdd-unusual-devs.patch
Feel free to reopen with the requested test results
(In reply to comment #9) > Feel free to reopen with the requested test results > Sorry for the dealy. I had compiled the kernel + patch. Compilation OK but system froze when rebooted (problem seemed to be related to video driver). After some days trying to fix the issue (eventually reinstalled). Notice that I cannot blame the patch for the troubles because we had a serious power problem a day before and a few machines had problems afterward. In any case, I have just now recompiled kernel + patch (no problem), rebooted (no problem) but the problem with the iomega hdd seems to remain unchanged. After the stabilization period, I get a stream of sd 5:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : 0x0 [current] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdd] ASC=0x0 ASCQ=0x0 That seems to continue forever.

Please let me know what further information you need.
It's failing on the last sector. This should be adequately worked around in the latest gentoo-sources-2.6.28 release, please could you test?
Please feel free to reopen with test results as per comment #11
