I have seen a similar problem with a paralell port ZIP-drive - a sync leaves
the ZIP LED on and doesn't return (and it is of course not possible to
unmout such stuck device). A few kills (or sufficient time) will eventually
help and the data written seem intact.
It happened to me twice or three times with kernel 2.1.119 and some a few steps
older (probably 2.1.117), but it is not 100% reproducible, so I don't know
what has helped to unblock the device :-(
My hardware is single-processor PPro, PP ZIP, VFAT. I suspected
the PPA driver, but this thread has drawn my attention.
