Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
This is a problem, which exists for a longer time for me... |
4 |
|
5 |
I am running Gentoo Linux :), which is updated regulary with Linux 2.6.26.5 |
6 |
vanilla kernel on a 3GB RAM system (AMD XP 3800+ X2 32bit/ASUS A8V w. |
7 |
VIA Chipset). No overclocking, no tuning. |
8 |
|
9 |
When I connect a IcyBox HD Case (ATA/IDE inside) via USB on the |
10 |
running system, the first view minutes data transfers are ok and then |
11 |
the transfer rate decreases down to 10kB/sec. Even the USB mouse |
12 |
(Logitech) isn't useable anymore than...only reboot will help. |
13 |
|
14 |
Inside the IceyBox there is a Cypress chipset used for the connection |
15 |
between the IDE/ATA-HD and the USB port. |
16 |
|
17 |
EHCI and UHCI are compiled as module (compiling them into the kernel |
18 |
results in the same problem...). |
19 |
|
20 |
What gives me some more time for an undisturbed transfer is rebooting |
21 |
the system while the IcyBox is still attached to the system which |
22 |
renders the sense of "hot pluggable" meaningless. |
23 |
|
24 |
Is there any idea, what is going on here? |
25 |
What can I do to solve the problem? |
26 |
Is the hardware rotten? May be the RAM is weared out? |
27 |
Or /dev/null needs to be emptied? |
28 |
|
29 |
Any help is very appreciated! |

Kind regards, |
