Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: critical
Under the 2.6.8 kernel my usb memory stick and my usb card reader are
not working (I can't mount them). Not only this - if I plug them out
the whole system crashes/freezes.
Under 2.4.27 when I plug in the memory stick dmesg shows:
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.4-2, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4e8/0x111) is not claimed by any active driver.

lsmod shows these additional modules:

sd_mod 10732 0 (autoclean) (unused)

I than can mount the stick. One more module is loaded (nls_cp437) and
dmesg adds:

sda: Write Protect is off
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Under kernel 2.6.8 I get plugging the memory stick in:

lsmod shows just:
usb_storage 68800 1
But then trying a mount the mount command hangs and plugging the
memory stick out the whole system hangs, mostly without any error
message in the logs. A very *few* times I got the error message:
debian kernel: usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in
As this seems to be a kernel bug here more info on the system

great, therefor closing your bug report.

from 2.6.12 on the debian kernels will use a new build system,
which depends on newer make-kpkg and dpkg.
there you have source, which generates the images.
also initrd-tools will be dropped soon and remplaced by initramfs.
so yes it will get harder to use/test the new linux-images under sarge.
there is work going on for security support of 2.6.8.
thanks for your feedback.
