From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <19991130234159.8771.qmail@web1004.mail.yahoo.com> Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 15:41:59 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Bethe Subject: Re: 2.3.29 - Wallstreet MediaBays To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I have the same symptom with my Wallstreet 233 MHz and a pre-built 2.2.10 kernel. I don't remember where the kernel came from but it might have been from BenH. I seem to remember hot-swapping working just perfectly fine at some point in the past. Before this kernel, I used the "very stable powerbook" kernel distributed with R5. Here are the conditions: * cdrom works indefinately, even if I pull it out and reinsert it * I can remove my cdrom, and insert a floppy drive. * Once I hot-swap in the floppy drive, the floppy only works for one operation. After that, it says "/dev/fd0: no such device". I can mount once, or I can use 'mtools' once. Then the floppy drive disappears from sight. * floppy would have only worked once even when I just cold booted with it in. * The instant I remove the floppy drive, the whole machine instantly powers off. I'll be upgrading my kernel with BenH's 2.2.13pb kernel RSN(tm)! I know my kernel is old. I just thought I'd contribute some keystrokes to the discussion. --- Joseph Garcia wrote: > > Is anyone else having problems with hot-swapping > media bays using 2.3.29?
