 |
|
Heey,
I just removed windows, and installed gentoo linux, all happy with my kde-3.4.1 eyecandy  But now i'm trying to get my creative muvo2 mp3player to work but it won't... I followed all these instructions considering it's detected as a usb HD using windows. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_USB_Mass_Storage_Device
My dmesg output: I first plugged in my mp3 player.. then I manually loaded usb_storage module.. then I reconnected the device...

So.. I haven't got a clue why it isn't detected as a scsi device.. less /proc/scsi/scsi won't output any device... |

| I may be asking the obvious, but are you sure you have scsi support enabled in the kernel? |

| Yup yup.. like I said I followed all the instructions from the above link.. Is there anyway to check this beside the kernel config? |

Besides the kernel config and dmesg, you could try
| Code: | lspci
cat /var/log/messages || cat /var/log/everything/current
|
which should output something with 'scsi', or 'SCSI' if it's configured in the kernel.
I also seem to remember having to enable "probe multiple LUNs" in the kernel for my iPod (which probably has pretty similar kernel requirements as your MP3 player). You can find the "probe multiple LUNs" setting in the SCSI section of the kernel config.

this doesn't output anything about scsi... On the other hand it seems very strange. I recompiled my kernel making all scsi related thing a module. I loaded each and every module located in the /lob/modules/kernel/scsi directory, but yet no progress.. So I haven't got a clue what it could be.. maybe it is a common problem  |

My mistake...lspci will show SCSI adapters, but not scsi-emulated removable hardware. On the other hand, dmesg and cat /var/log/messages || cat /var/log/everything/current should show your MP3 player once it's connected though.
I would suggest following the iPod HOWTO (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Using_an_iPod_With_Gentoo_Linux) for configuring SCSI support in the kernel: | Quote: | #
# SCSI device support
#
CONFIG_SCSI=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set
#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR is not set
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m
#
# Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs
#
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING is not set
#
# SCSI Transport Attributes
#
# CONFIG_SCSI_SPI_ATTRS is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_FC_ATTRS is not set |

looks like a kernel bug, you should upgrade to the latest and file a bug if the problem still exists
also, posting contents of /proc/devices would be useful

I'm using kernel 2.6.11 r3 seams fairly new... And I have had this problem with prior kernels.. but I might as well take a shot... |

i had the same problem - and found that i'd forgotten to enable SCSI emulation in the kernel
