It really sounds like a hardware problem, since I can't think of anything software could do to make that kind of current go through the flash drive. I remember seeing the controller chip on a 730MB quantum scsi drive start to glow red many years ago, just before the drive stopped responding to the system (and I turned off the power). Hardware does fail. It almost never has anything to do with software. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
