I've seen this before - when testing out mass storage on my 5500 - but I have no idea why it happened, nor how to debug it. Iirc, it was fixed (for me) by a suitable combo of rebooting, re-insmod'ing and altering one of the kernel modules.

I'm not sure if the following will be of any use to you but for completeness' sake.

hi Si,
thanks for responding.i have got the usb_mass.c code from the links you have given.but some functions are there which are not defined in this .c file.so  where can i get that.for example "sa1100_usb_start()".

waiting for your reply

It's probably in the source which builds the sa1100_bi.o module, not sure exactly where that is in the kernel source without looking (and I can't atm).

You might be better looking at the source code for storage_fd.o which comes in the c860 kernel source code. I imagine that the handhelds.org kernels also
support mass storage, so a browse through their source might also be worth while.

I imagine that this kind of error has been encountered before by those who develop mass storage drivers for devices, so you should also have a look at any USB related mailing lists you can find to see if you can spot anything there.
