[Description Petr Lanc 2008-12-29 19:41:21 UTC]

I upgrade kernel from sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r4 to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r7 and my nokia 6300 in mass storage mode stop to works. In /var/log/messages wrotes

Dec 29 19:17:36 kaname sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Add. Sense: No additional sense information
in infinitive loop. I try sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28 with the same result. In sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r4 it works without any problem.
My mp3 mass storage player works good on all kernels without noticing any problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make oldconfig && make -j3 && make modules_install install
2. reboot new kernel
3. attach mobile phone

Actual Results:  
No block device in /dev created, writing errors to log

Expected Results:  
Create /dev/sd?.

Sergey, did you see the mail upstream where they rejected your patch due to minor formatting errors? Please resubmit when you have a chance. thanks.

[Comment 12 Sergey Ovcharenko 2009-01-13 10:32:47 UTC]

Daniel,i've just resubmitted the patch.Sorry for the delay,i was passing exams these days,had absolutely no free time :(

[Comment 13 Sergey Ovcharenko 2009-01-14 19:38:56 UTC]

Petr,i submitted the patch upstream and kernel developers told me all Nokia devices are handled in a generic way in 2.6.29.
It would be very helpful if you tested 2.6.29-r1 kernel without the patch and told us if it works.
Thanks!

[Comment 14 Petr Lanc 2009-01-15 18:44:09 UTC]

I tried sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.29_rc1 and it realy works without any problems.
Thank You!
