USB Harddrive fails to mount. Conflict with DVB Stick.

[Michael Z Freeman]

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.

I have sought support information for this bug but it keeps rearing it's ugly head. I have been told that my USB hardware is at fault but that does not match with the behavior. The problem arises if I forget to *take out* a Hauppage Mytv.t stick before plugging in a 149GB USB drive (WD1800ME). The USB drive fails to mount and the mouse and keyboard become slow and almost unusable (just enough to hit restart but nothing else).

Once mounted OK I can plug in the DVB stick and everything is fine, even when rebooting *with the stick still plugged in*. Odd. Then one day, out of the blue the whole process will repeat itself.

I have attached other logs as well as the auto one's as they pick out specifically a bad boot / USB drive plugin first of all, followed by a restart and successful USB drive mount *after removing* the DVB stick. Thanks, amd I hope this report is useful.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

Hi DJ_Barney,

Can you test if this is still an issue with the more recent Jaunty 9.04 release? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Please let us know. It's not likely this will qualify for a Stable Release Update to Hardy. Thanks.

I'll try to when I get Jaunty installed.
