 Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2004 11:55 pm Post subject: kernel not seeing usb |
 |
|
I am using development-sources-2.6.7 and fluxbox. My Logitech MX310 mouse and usb printer do not appear to be recognized, but the mouse laser does turn on briefly during boot (but turns off when kernel is loading). Both worked fine before my re-install.... USB shows up in lspci, and uscore core shows up in lsmod. My xorg.conf is good to go as far as the mouse is concerned, and I have usb/usb printer support built into my kernel. What's the deal here?

It seems you've already posted this question here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=187158
Unfortunately, they've asked all the questions I was going to, so at the moment I don't know the problem. |

yes I did. However, at that point, I didn't know my printer wasn't being seen either... I think that this points to a bigger, more general problem, hence the new post for it. I thought it was different enough to merit a new thread, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

My bad. Obviously I didn't read your post properly 
What USB modules have you compiled into the kernel?
What is the output of: | Code: | | grep CONFIG_USB /usr/src/linux/.config |
The above assumes you kernel config file is in the given directory.
What is the output of lsmod? I realise you stated usbcore is there but the full listing may offer more insight.
You've stated that you have usbcore and uhci_hcd, do you have usbhid installed? How about usbfs? If usbfs is installed, what does the following output: | Code: | | cat /proc/bus/usb/devices |
If USB is properly compiled in as a module, what does /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 contain? |

I tried putting usbfs on, but fstab didn't like it. As for autoload.d, I just have my ethernet module in there. I never had to put anything more in the file before, however, that was with Gnome and XFree.

You ARE loading the host controller driver(s), right? Like the ehci-hcd, ohci-hcd, or uhci-hcd modules.

The relevant lines are:
| Code: |
CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
|
The majority of these are modules, so they will need to be loaded. Firstly, try: | Code: | modprobe ehci_hcd
modprobe uhci_hcd
modprobe usbhid
modprobe usblp
ls -R /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/|grep ko |
The last part should just give a list of all usb modules you have.
If these load successfully (do a lsmod to be sure), add each module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. It's possible you previously had these compiled in or (obviously) something else has changed.
This is my /etc/fstab entry for usbfs: | Code: | | none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 |

Loading the modules did the trick. Thank you very much!
