[Bug 49587] Ubuntu 6.06: Digicam not accepted with linux-686 kernel, but working with linux-386

[Frank Hansen]

Public bug reported:

After installing Ubuntu 6.06 on my Latitude-X1 laptop and changing to
the linux-686 kernel, I wanted to connect my digital camera (Sony
DSC-F828, PTP mode), but nothing happened.

/var/log/kern.log reported lines like:

Jun 12 22:31:21 localhost kernel: [4295684.342000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 61
Jun 12 22:31:22 localhost kernel: [4295684.766000] usb 1-1: device not accepting address 61, error -71

The same happened on my wife's laptop with Ubuntu 6.06 (same camera on a
Sony PCG-SRX51P).

I was clueless and didn't get an answer in the forums.

Now I found out that the digital camera works fine when starting Ubuntu
with the linux-386 kernel (even with the normal USB mass storage mode,
not only PTP mode)...

The kernel is 2.6.15-23-686 (and 386 respectively).

In Ubuntu 5.10 the linux-686 kernel worked fine with the camera.

I repoted this in:
