External USB harddisk works with 10.178 but not with 10.179

[herwigb]

An external USB 3.0 harddisk of 950 GB (partitioned into a 500 GB and a 450 GB JFS partition) works fine with 10.178 build, but not with 10.179 on a ThinkServer TS100 (Intel 3210 ChipSet, will add PCI.exe output tomorrow). It does not work with original IBM drivers.

Try the attached. Do not forget to copy the *.tff files to OS2\system\trace so that a formatted trace can be generated if necessary.

ok, with the one from HERWIGB.ZIP the external harddisk works again.

However the one from HERWIGB.ZIP triggers a different problem: The mouse does not work after boot. If I detach it and reattach it again, it will work normally. The mouse works normally with the IBM drivers and it works with 10.178. It is a standard optical Microsoft 3-Button wheel mouse.

Please attach device report for the mouse (from USB dock/USB resmgr).

Report about the harddisk from USB ResMgr and USBDock

[herwigb]

Added both reports from the mouse and the harddisk.

One thing I noticed in USB-Dock: It reports "Hohe Geschwindigkeit (2.0)" for the mouse and "Schildkröte (sehr langsam)" for the harddisk. I did not have the impression the harddisk was slow - is there a way to reliably check whether that's wrong (ie. what transfer rates should I approximately see...).

I don't know whether that is a (more or less cosmetical) USB-Dock issue or a driver issue...

[Lars Erdmann]

Looking at the reports from USB ResMgr/USBDock: your mouse is USB 2.0 and your harddisk is also USB 2.0. The problem with USB-Dock is likely a driver problem. I am currently working on getting a proper boot with multiple USB 2.0 devices plugged in on boot and this has NEVER properly worked with the USBEHCD.SYS version 10.162 (original IBM driver). I will need some more time to figure out what's going on. As a test: try booting with ONLY the mouse connected (but not the harddisk). I would think that the mouse will then work.

[herwigb]

The harddisk is NEVER connected during boot because the ThinkServer hangs during BIOS startup before the boot manager if the harddisk is plugged in during startup.

During boot only mouse and keyboard are connected and with the build from HERWIGB.ZIP the mouse does not work until I pull it and plug it in again.

With 10.181 all issues described in this ticket are gone again.
