There is a new version of rio500 (i think 8.0 or so), but it doesn´t solve the problem, it makes it more worse then with the 7.0 version. If you try to upload anything with the 8.0 version of the rio utils and a 2.6.x kernel, you get a checkboard screen on your rio, wich is only recoverable with the recoverytool that runs under windows.
This sounds like a problem with the usb-storage kernel module perhaps... or however we communicate with the rio500... bouncing to kernel herd...
I allready wrote to the kernel mailing list and someone sayd to me that the rio500 kernel dirver maybe will become obsolet in the near future, becouse the driver does not do anything special that can be done with libusb. Right now i am about to write a programm that uses libusb to communicate with the rio.
Is this issue resolved? Does it still freeze on newer kernel sources?
It still freezes, even with the 2.6.5 kernel
Does it leave a call trace at all? Or can't you see it? Could you try 2.6.5-mm4? It has the latest bk pull for the usb tree. Let's see if that fixes anything.
If this bug is still present on 2.6.7, please file it at bugzilla.kernel.org as this is not a gentoo specific issue.
