 |
|
Hi all
For a while I'm trying to mount my usb stick, which only works fine when it is already plugged in at boot time. If this is not the case, no sdb1 (sda1 is already in use for something else) is created after plugging it into one of the other usb-slots...
Does anyone know what I've missed during configuring my kernel (2.6.3)
I've also niticed that I cant select 'SCSI device support', there are ---- at the beginnig of that??!!
thanks in advance

I've got my usb-pen working great with gentoo. | Code: | | --- SCSI device support |
is just the header for the section in the kernel config, not an actual option. I have scsi-disk support enabled as a module, as well as scsi-generic support. Then I have USB mass storage support enabled (its built in) and have in my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
this is in my dmesg when I attatch the device...
| Code: | usb 3-1.3: new full speed USB device using address 10
scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Send the output of dmesg when you plug in the stick...your kernel config may help too...

Are you sure you have the hotplug service running?
/etc/init.d/hotplug start

think so, don't see it with pgrep -l hotplug, but when I try /etc/init.d/hotplug start
it tells me it is already started
Any other suggestions??

At a closer look, it seems that the device is /dev/sda. I had the same problem once. Once I upgraded to a newer kernel, the problem was solved.

I've seen a lot of people run into this problem; it seems it's a devfs issue. I believe you can fix it in the devfs configuration, but a simpler solution would just be to upgrade to udev. There's a udev guide in the gentoo docs now, or search the forum, there's lots of udev stuff.
Good luck,
Nate |
