2.6.18-rc strange hotplug/udev/uevent problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 

Hi,

Got a weird problem here.
On x86 Fedora Core 5 with 2.6.17 with GNOME, plugging in a usb stick would result in it being mounted. With 2.6.18-rc this no longer occurs. FC5 got an update to hal to work with 2.6.18 kernels, but it don't work for me. I'm having the same problem on 3 x86 FC5 machines.
The weird thing is, this all works on my x86-64 FC5 workstation with 2.6.18-rc both before and after the hal update. 

Anyway I submitted a bug report against HAL suspecting it broken

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7756

Perhaps not. So I turn my attention more to the kernel.
2.6.17 was working fine. You could plug/unplug/plug a USB memory stick and it would get mounted each time. 

2.6.18-rc[23] works the same as above on my x86-64 FC5 box.
2.6.18-rc[23] and 2.6.18-rc3-git7 on x86 built with usb/scsi/sd/vfat/nls_* built as modules will mount on the first plug but not subsequent plugs. 

If you rmmod the sd_mod module and plug in, then it will get mounted.
When the kernel is built non-modular then plugging in will not mount it. If you boot with the device plugged in then when you log into GNOME it will be mounted. But subsequent unmount/plug ins will not get it mounted.
The following is from the udevmonitor program running under 2.6.18-rc built modular. 

Plugging device in with sd_mod not loaded.

No mount events here, this is similar output to the non-modular case..

I guess the next thing is to try and narrow down when this started, but as that could take some time, I'm posting this now.
