Hi all,
I have an APC Smart-UPS CS 500, and most of the time it works really
nicely. I was stupefied to find it worked out of the box in Ubuntu
Dapper and pops up a nice little icon when the power goes out, etc...
The trouble is, that's only most of the time.
I'm guessing the USB controller in the device is buggy or something,
because occasionally, when I reboot my machine with the UPS plugged in,
the boot hangs or produces strange errors when detecting USB devices.
All it takes to get the machine to boot properly is yank the USB plug on
the UPS, plug it in again, and reboot.
Has anyone seen this before?
Not exactly kernel related I must admit, but this never seems to happen
on *shudder* Windows, and I wouldn't expect such severe behaviour in
case of trouble...
I've seen this on all sorts of kernels starting with the early 2.6
series up to 2.6.16.1 and 2.6.16-ck3. My latest hang was with the latter
kernel, and modprobe got stuck with the following trace:
