Comment 411 for bug 88746

Maybe it's better to skip that MSI board.

One of the first things I noticed was "Genesys Logic".

Didn't various species go to war over Genes(i|y)s in Star Trek movies? Christopher Lloyd described it as "The Genesis Torpedo".

Anyway, max_sectors was 240 for the flash device. I set that to 64, then proceeded with the usual 'yum update'.

It didn't even allow me to start downloading. I got a "Hub disconnect" message and that was pretty much it. The errors are actually different from the previous errors. I'm seeing all kinds of FAT errors and I can't say I noticed the "lost page write" errors, so there's presumably something else wrong with this system (Genesys?).

The (Kingston) flash device was attached to a USB port on the back of the system.

I'll see if I can try it on the Proliant tomorrow, but they take so long to start up. FWIW, I've attached the lsusb output for this system.
