Since 2.6.0 and on I've had problems with mounting up my Archos Jukebox MP3 player. In the 2.4.20 kernel I used to: Power on the unit plug in the USB cable modprobe usb-storage (scsi disk is compiled in) mount /dev/sda1 Debian Unstable {1}:/home/nomad>lspci -v | grep -i usb 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) "hotplug" autoloads the module for my visor and it is working properly. When I plug in archos it sees a device but says there's no module for the device. Now when I modprobe usb-storage it hangs the shell and pretty much the machine. No real output, it just sits there. I've had this same behavior in 2.6.0-test1, test2 and test2-mm3. If someone wishes to give me some debug commands to run or alternate compile options feel free.
