Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
Version: 2.6.12-5
Severity: normal
after installing linux-image-2.6.12-1-686, i get very, very slow writes
to my USB 2.0 flash drive (around 30kb/s). messages in syslog indicate
that the kernel has recognized it as a high-speed device, ehci_hcd is
inserted, and so forth... disk writes are just inexplicably slow. there
is no excessive CPU usage or any other indication of what the problem
might be.
using kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686, i get the expected ~12mb/s write speeds,
using the same drive, same usb port, and the same mount options.
disk reads, strangely enough, do not seem to be affected at all, or at
least not nearly to the same degree.
the drive is a 1GB Lexar Jumpdrive, JDA1GB-00-501. from lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 05dc:a400 Lexar Media, Inc.
the USB controller information from lspci:
0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01)
0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM

EHCI Controller (rev 01)
(fwiw, i have noticed the same problem on a completely different
machine, on kernel i compiled from linux-source-2.6.12, adding the
it8212 patch and trimming the configuration, so it may be an issue
with the source. then again, it could be a coincidence).
