USB problems

Hi,
I recently (3 months ago) got my beagleboard and after some hardware-
problems (and an RMA replacement) I installed the Angstrom Demo and
played around with the Beagle-Mojo.

I like to use the beagle as Web-/Samba-/ssh-/printer-Server but I get
some serious problems. When I start copying files from an usb-drive
connected to the beagle via usb-ethernet-adapter to a pc the beagle
stops working after some time. Browsing a samba-share or the webserver-
content from a pc speeds up the locking process.
In some cases the beagle doesn't lock up complete and I get the
following messages via rs232:

But sometimes the beagle crashes completly.
I tried all currently available kernels from the angstrom-demo, tried
several kernels in combination with the mojo-project (from
http://www.rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/beagle/hasty/) but none of them
worked. Some got me great ehternet speeds others took longer to crash
but all of them did crash.

I also changed nearly all hardware-components: usb-ethernet device
(USB200M Linksys, and another noname-adapter), the "powered" usb hub,
all usb cables but the mini-A-cable.
I only didn't change the sd-card, the beagle-powersupply (which was
bought from digi-key with the beagle), and the mini-A-adapter (nor the
beagle of course).

I tried everything with DVI/rs232 connected and not, but no change.

I would be really glad for every idea because I'm really stuck now.
Should I change the rest of the unchanged components? Is this a
hardware or a software problem?

Hello,

Very strange. Let's get you up and running with a known working
kernel. (off the wall question, what version of uboot are you
running? v1.3.3 or v2008-10, etc?)

Please download this file to your Fat32 partition and rename it to uImage.

Thanks for your help!

Im currently running the v1.3.3. Should I try a newer one? Where can I
get one if I don't build it myself?
The X-loader says: Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.2 (Aug 8 2008 -

*****************

Check to see the Ethernet adapter works, if so, dl this upgrade script
on your beagleboard and run it.

Worked(sometimes)!

wgethttp://www.rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/update_kernel.sh

change lines 3 & 4 with nano/etc:
DISTRO=lenny to DISTRO=hasty
ARCH=armel to ARCH=arm

then run "/bin/bash update_kernel.sh"

reboot

Then, please post the results of dmesg & lsusb with 2.6.28-***-oer10

workes in 1 of 10 boots... sometimes stops after uncompressing the
kernel, sometimes during bootup (mostly after:
Waiting 2sec before mounting root device...

if I got it booting it crashes during ssh session or stops working
after a few seconds of a filetransfer

Your system is acting way too random and your dmesg looks good (i'm
also running an external usb drive), as for the randomness I saw some
of those issues back in October/November time frame with the 2.6.27's
kernels. ( i was running 1.3.1 & 1.3.3 at the time) an upgrade to
v2008-10 fixed these issues for me and a couple other developers.

I've had the best luck with Koen's build here (using november's
build): http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
