Well, it's not that I faked the traces ;-)
During the first cat, I can see the data transmitted by the device, so I guess the kernel warning is not really blocking for me at this point.
What is blocking, is the fact that I can only do it once, before I get the input/output error. I found a post about this ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/24/269 ) and the patch seems to have made it into 2.6.29. Still having a similar issue though...

Christophe L.
