After detecting the hard disk (SCSI device) it panics. I am able to see only a part of the kernel stack trace due to low resolution so I am in a situation where I cannot do anything further. In this situation kgdb seems to be the only way. Note: The case I mentioned in my first mail is different from this case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
