I updated a F11 system and now I have four kernels installed...: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.3-155.fc11.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.30.6-53.fc11.i686
Only kernels (29) make the system start, while 30 kernels stops at a certain point of booting...
I found these lines in dmesg when working:
scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 3 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access Hitachi HTS541680J9AT00 0000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors: (80.0 GB/74.5 GiB) sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 27 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors: (80.0 GB/74.5 GiB) sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 27 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 EXT4-fs: barriers enabled kjournald2 starting: pid 88, dev dm-0:8, commit interval 5 seconds EXT4-fs: delayed allocation enabled EXT4-fs: file extents enabled EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled EXT4-fs: mounted filesystem dm-0 with ordered data mode SELinux: Disabled at runtime.

But when system doesn't boot I see last lines on my screen :

I note this big difference: usbcore: registered new interface driver cms-cypress
Please note that I have another system with Philips external USB disk running fine....
Any comment???

It looks as if the newer kernel is recognizing (or perhaps mistakenly recognizing) the actual chip driving the unit, but the driver it has for that chip doesn't work, while the generic usb-storage driver does work with it. You may have to pass a parameter to the boot loader somehow.

I filed a bug: Bug 524998 - System doesn't boot off an USB disk
I have been running Fedora from a Usb disk for a long time, this is my first experience of this ssytem not booting from a particular disk, that is my experimental disk dedicated to rawhide. o now I have to wait before switching to F12 :-(
