https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233998 ------- Comment #16 from eich@novell.com 2007-05-14 05:31 MST ------- Just a few more datapoints: Meanwile the drive in my device passed away unpeacefully. To salvage the electronics I pried the plastic case open and replaced the faulty HITACHI drive with a Seagate. With this new drive the delay problem went away. The device now works well even with an unpatched kernel for 10.2. This seems to indicate that the powerup delay depends very much on the drive used. Furthermore I tested the faulty drive with a different USB controller befor it failed completely. With the other controller I didn't need an extended delay either. Difference between the two controllers: the original controller only spins up the drive when the USB device is initialized while the other controller had the drive spinning as soon as it got power. This the delay seems to be needed for USB devices that only spin up the drive when initialized if a drive is used that's slightly slow on spinup. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
