When trying to read individual files from my Nokia 6280 phone's memory card via an USB cable, the read fails. Writing files is no problem, and dumping the entire contents of the card using dd also works (one can even mount the dump in loopback and read the files!), but when trying to read a file directly it hangs for a while and finally exits with an input/output error. Both Windows XP and Knoppix 3.8 works without any problems.

Tried with a gentoo-2.6.14-r7 kernel and reading works with this kernel, so I guess it's a bug introduced in newer kernels.
Please reproduce this on the latest stable kernel (currently 2.6.17) and if the bug still exists, post "lsusb -v" output while the device is attached.

(In reply to comment #3) > Created an attachment (id=94061) [edit] > lsusb -v output with the device attached > I have reproduced the error using the 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 kernel and attached the output from lsusb.
Created attachment 96450 [details, diff] Patch This is completely guesswork but as Nokia have been messing up a fair few firmwares recently it is worth trying this patch...

There was a reply on the forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3565726#3565726 : This may interest you: Linux taiga 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 #4 Sat Sep 2 14:42:04 CEST 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ GNU/Linux ... and I can read files. At least the few files I have read had no problems. I'm still looking for a way to access the contents of the phone itself rather than the card. :)
Please enable USB storage debugging (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG) and attach dmesg after this problem has occurred. Preferably on the latest development kernel, currently 2.6.18-rc7.
