Bug Description

I'm having a problem with a Zip 750 USB device. The dmesg output was as follows:

I do not know if the problem is reproduceable.

Are you using the latest kernel?

The "over-current" message is common to bug #8772. The timeout messages seem to
typically indicate IRQ problems. Try booting with noapic, pci=noacpi, and
acpi=off (each individually) and see if any of them make a difference.

How would I go about doing that? I'm quite confused. You lost me after the IRQ
problems.

You add the options noapic and/or acpi=off to the kernel parameters in GRUB/LILO.

Well, I looked, and it's actually a problem on the ATAPI controllers, as it
appears that the Zip drive is connected that way. I was told by my father (who
put that element in the computer) that it was USB, but it wasn't.

So, it should detect as /dev/hde4, but it doesn't. How does that affect the
problem, and what should I do?

What happens if you do

rmmod ide-generic
modprobe ide-generic

If nothing happens then please try

modprobe ide-floppy

OK. Could we please do rmmod ide-generic/modprobe ide-generic in rcS.d if it
was loaded by the initrd? This will pull in the function drivers that weren't
included on the initrd.

In the long term IDE should adopt the SCSI hotplug approach of loading function
drivers.

How do I make these changes permanent? When I reboot, they disappear.

How large a project would it be to make the IDE function modules work like the
SCSI ones?

I've just had a look and it should be trivial. The type can be read from
/proc/ide/hd?/media.

So this would be purely a userland fix in the hotplug scripts?

I'm not certain about a hotplug script since I don't know whether you get a
hotplug event when an IDE device is registered that doesn't belong to any
specific function driver. However, an init script should do the trick.

Any IDE devices that are found later on will load the corresponding drivers
automatically.
