Too bad; it would have been helpful. > Is there anything I can do to make netconsole dump everything? Not as far as I know. But it might help if we saw the USB debugging messages. Try turning on dynamic debugging for usbcore and scsi_mod before running the test by doing: echo 'module usbcore =p' >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control echo 'module scsi_mod =p' >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control Had you made any changes to the runtime suspend settings? blk_post_runtime_resume wouldn't be called unless the drive had gone into runtime suspend. And even then, it's not likely to be called after you unplug the USB cable.
