Description Florian Engelhardt 2004-02-13 14:28:45 UTC
When i try to add a folder to the rio500 mp3-player with the rio500 utils with a running kernel version 2.6.x the programm freezes. if i dont kill the programm very fast, the system freezes

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge rio500
2. rio_add_folder test

Actual Results:  
The Software freezes.

Expected Results:  
It should create a folder named test on the rio500 mp3-player an then exit.

The programm works perfect with a 2.4.x kernel. Maybe it depends on the new 2.6
kernel. There is a new version of rio500 (i think 8.0 or so), but it doesn

The programm works perfect with a 2.4.x kernel. Maybe it depends on the new 2.6
kernel. 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...
Comment 3 Florian Engelhardt 2004-02-15 03:52:46 UTC
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?
Comment 5 Florian Engelhardt 2004-04-09 09:18:16 UTC
It still freezes, even with the 2.6.5 kernel
Comment 6 Jason Cox (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-13 20:31:54 UTC
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.
Comment 7 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 13:08:18 UTC
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.
