 Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 8:55 pm Post subject: No USB devices [SOLVED] |
 |
|
My Nomad and Gentoo no longer seem to get along very well. Gentoo actually doesn't seem to get along with any USB devices any longer... and they work in Windows, so it must be something I've broken in my config. Everything used to work flawlessly, without me ever explicitly configuring anything, but no longer.
When I try to do
# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
I get:
cat: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory
lsmod lists a bunch of things, these look like the USB-related ones:
ohci1394 28804 0
ieee1394 90932 2 sbp2,ohci1394
ohci_hcd 18052 0
usb_storage 26368 0
usbhid 28608 0
ehci_hcd 25348 0
usbcore 95204 5 ohci_hcd,usb_storage,usbhid,ehci_hcd
I've searched the forums to no avail... anyone got any suggestions? I have no idea what I broke, but I'm notorious for just letting etc-update replace everything and fixing whatever it broke as needed. Just a caveat 
Thanks!

DismalFailureAtLife,
You will only have a | Code: | | /proc/bus/usb/devices |
file if you chose to make usbfs in the kernel config.
Its only essential for USB scanners.
| Code: | ohci_hcd
usb_storage
ehci_hcd
usbcore |
should be all you need usb wise for a USB storage device to work with either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 on a non Intel and VIA system. If your USB chip set is made by either Intel or VIA you need uhci_hcd in place of ohci_hcd.
Its worth rebuilding your kernel with usbfs becuse debug is much easier. With 2.4 kerenls you need to mount it in /etc/fstab.
2.6 appears to mount it all by itself.

Thank you! I was using ohci_hcd instead of uhci_hcd...
A quick modprobe and I was back in business. |
