Bug#284600: kernel-source-2.6.9: kernel 2.6.9 freezes when unmounting my USB stick from nautilus (uhci, powerpc).

[Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.9
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


Well, on my pegasos2/powerpc system, i have gnome 2.8 installed, and use
udev, hal and gnome-volume-manager to mount the usb stick, and
right-click+umount to remove it. On 2.6.8 kernels, this works fine, but when
using the 2.6.9 kernel, the umount action freezes the box, and a hard-reboot
is needed.

ii  kernel-image-2.6.9-powerp 2.6.9-1                   Linux kernel image for 2.6.9-powerpc
ii  udev                      0.046-5                   /dev/ management daemon
ii  hal                       0.4.2-1                   Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii  gnome-volume-manager      1.1.2-4                   GNOME daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices
