Kernel Panic when Pluggin USB devices

vfbsilva · 2011-06-10 18:14:33

Folks I'm having kernel panic issues when plugin USB devices on my machine. It hapens both in kde and terminal alike. My kernel info

Linux mordor 2.6.38-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:49:29 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I "fixed" it for the momment adding the usb ports to fstab

/dev/sdd1               /mnt/usb    vfat   rw,noauto,async,user,nofail  0         0
/dev/sdd2               /mnt/usb2   vfat   rw,noauto,async,user,nofail  0     0

This is far from ideal. What could I do what elses info can I provide you?
In errors.log I've found:

Jun  6 22:34:13 localhost kernel: [  259.994731] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
Jun  6 22:43:40 localhost kernel: [  827.830713] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
Jun  6 22:43:43 localhost kernel: [  830.974857] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors

Any ideas or more info I can provide you?

Regards.

Re-format the drives with gparted and see if it still keeps doing that.

The problem seems related to a given usb port not to a given usbdisk. Sorry I forgot to mkention. Thou ports work fine in windows. And pendrives work fine in other linux machines.

IS it related to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=940952 ?

I'm also using amd64, behavior described there was happening some while ago on my machine. Maybe the issues was not 110% fixed?

I've got the same problem: I've narrowed it down to something that changed between kernel versions 2.6.38.5-1 and 2.6.38.6-2.
I'm trying to track down the exact kernel patch that has caused this.

I'm experiencing kernel panics intermittently as well. Seems like I have about a 50/50 chance of a kernel panic when inserting a usb device. Using a ASUS P8P67 Pro mobo. I will try to submit some more relevant info when I have time.

I am experiencing this same problem on kernel-lts which is at version 2.6.32
I think the problem is more likely with udev... but if you've isolated and only updated the kernel then I have no idea

My question, cant we fix it tweaking hall configs in our machines and removing the entries to the disks from fstab?

adamlau · 2011-06-18 08:23:34

Same here for the past few months, stock and custom kernel builds...

Linux WhoAmI 2.6.39.1-CUSTOM #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jun 5 01:33:53 PDT 2011 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

It has been 25/75 pass/fail since everything was humming along early .38-ARCH...I too feel as if it is udev-kernel interaction as fault...
I have to mount Win7 x64 before copying torrented media over and then transferring what I need to a USB drive..What a major hassle...
Adding the expected USB mount points to fstab failed as a workaround on my box. YMMV. Here is part of the panic messsage:

All USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and USB 2.0 and 3.0 drive devices (STT Express Drive USB 3.0) were working flawlessly before...
And it goes without saying that all USB drives were reformatted multiple times under both Arch and Win7 x64...

I seem to have fixed the issues on my PC. I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL and removed all USB mentions from fstab. Hope this pointer helps you.

adamlau · 2011-06-18 09:08:04

Thanks, vfbsilva. HAL is not installed and there are no USB devices listed in my fstab.

devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=2G,mode=1777 0 0

LABEL=BOOT /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
LABEL=ROOT / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=HOME /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=DOCS /doc ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=PROG /prog ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=MULTI /multi ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0

ive got the same problem since i upgraded to 2.6.39
Once i plug in my usb pen drive i my kernel panics. No usb entries in entries and hal isnt installed

badfish · 2011-06-18 14:15:04

I've traced the problem on my machine to a patch to scsi_sysfs.c that was introduced between 2.6.38-5 and 2.6.38-6.

There's another patch to the same file in kernel 3.0.0-rc3, and I can't reproduce the problem with that version of the kernel.

So I would suggest that people with this problem should try downgrading to 2.6.38-5, and then wait for 3.0.0 before upgrading the kernel again.

adamlau · 2011-06-30 00:56:33

Zero issues with USB-related kernel panics under 2.6.39.2 so far (noticed quite a few USB patches)...Udisks and devmon working as expected.....
