Hi,
I have USB flash drive.
I have formated this one on windows
( fdisk /dev/sdb showed me that this is WIN95 FAT32 )
ok

When I tried to copy some data from /media/cdrecord I get IO error.
and dvice automaticly unmount.
And kernel Oops is called:

Code:

Is anybody who know what it's going on with my flash ?

A kernel oops is very bad. That shouldn't happen under normal circumstances, or even under most abnormal circumstances really. Have you rebooted your system since then? It might need one to resume normal operation, a kernel oops can shut down things you need to do this, if not lock your system up completely.

What is your system, anyway?

I suppose I mean this look like this flash memory is broken. I tried restart the system many times. When I turn on other flash disk evrything is ok.

My system is
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I know that oops is not very good situation but maybe there is some solution or way to fix my flash. I tried
fsck.vfat
and this not work.
I tried to reformat this flash disk but still no effect.

Maybe somebody know a way or tools to "debug" flash memory and to fix it.

I can only guess, but from the stack trace it looks like the device is removing itself when being written to, or the kernel thinks it is.

I bought new flash memory. I think that this is the one of the best solution in this situation

but if anybody know what can I do to bring up my old flash please tell me.
