 Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2004 7:55 pm Post subject: 2.6.4-rc1 to 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 and USB storage (Panasonic) |
 |
|
Just adding to the long list of USB storage related worries I've found so far. I migrated from Debian unstable 2.4.20 to Gentoo 2.6.4-rc1 last weekend, and I'm trying to get everything running again. I ran into the largest problem with my digital camera, Panasonic DMC-FZ1 Lumix, which is visible as a USB mass storage device. When I plug it in, I get this in /var/log/messages:
| Code: |
Mar 16 21:51:04 brutus SCSI device sda: 124161 512-byte hdwr sectors (64 MB)
Mar 16 21:51:04 brutus sda: assuming Write Enabled
Mar 16 21:51:04 brutus sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Mar 16 21:51:04 brutus /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0: p1

Mar 16 21:51:04 brutus USB Mass Storage device found at 6
|
Then when I try to mount /dev/sda, it tells me there's no media. Now I know that a lot of people have had the same issue, but they have used older kernels and they've been hand-configured. I however used genkernel, because my hardware changes a lot and I wanted autodetection. Can I patch my kernel according to the instructions I found elsewhere and then run genkernel again, or is there another way to do this? Needless to say, this worked fine on 2.4.20 (not willing to downgrade though  )
Help much appreciated.

i am having the same problem, everything shows up fine in the usb infos and i get /dev/sda1 created, all modules loaded properly - everything should work - but it tells me
| Code: | root # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/photo/
mount: No medium found |
i am running linux-2.6.3-gentoo-r2 as my kernel, btw, and have a panasonic dmc-lc20 - which always worked perfectly before under other various linuxes (including an older gentoo and a more recent mandrake, but this is the first time i have tried with a 2.6 kernel)
any ideas? |

How adventures are you? If you use an usb storage device you should consider making the switch to udev: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
It's pain at first but makes live a lot easier (especially if you have things like a pcmcia usb2 card + usb2 storage and do a lot of hotplugging).
Have you tried a simple 'fdsik /dev/sda' and check if you can access the portition table. If you can't your /dev/sda leads to nowhere. If you can something is wrong with your mount options. |

| yeah fdisk /dev/sda wouldn't come up with anything, even though the /dev devices had been created upon connection of the camera. so i guess it is pointing to nowhere. in a few days i'll have the time to try the switch to udev, and i'll post back on how that works out for me. btw - i'm not using usb2 or pcmcia for this, just plain old usb and usb-storage. i was surprised that it didn't work, being so standard and having worked before. |

I just ordered my Panasonic DMC-FZ 10, probably quite similar problems with it, getting it to work. I would appreciate, if you guys post how far you have come.
I will post how for I come myself, of course. |

| Haven't really had time to look into this, been busy with work & just kept my system stable. I upgraded to mm-sources (2.6.4-mm1), partly for stability reasons, but also hoping to find a solution. Well, I didn't. One of these days I might get the spark to go kernel again, I'll post whatever I run into. For now I've just been unloading the camera on my WinXP/Mandrake9.2 laptop... |

| Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2004 5:05 am Post subject: switched to udev, still not functioning |
|
|
i made the switch to udev, remarkably painless in itself, but i still get the same error with my camera. originally there was no /dev/scsi subdirectory (which shouldn't matter really) but i edited the /etc/udev/udev.rules file adding the following:
| Code: | BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sd %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%c{2} %k %c{3} %c{4}"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sr*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sr %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%c{2} %k %c{3} %c{4}"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="st*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh st %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%c{2} %k %c{3} %c{4}"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sg*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sg %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%c{2} %k %c{3} %c{4}" |
which did get me a /dev/scsi created when i turned on my camera, but didn't help me in mounting it. it's odd because everything seems like it is working, as would be noted from my /var/log/messages output:
| Code: | Mar 30 23:45:00 yendo usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 2

as a side note, even before i got /dev/scsi to show up, it reported the line with /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 - which is why i made sure i could get that up, in case it was vital (apparently it makes no difference).
as another side note, i added this line to get a /dev/camera, so i wouldn't have to deal with /dev/sda1 and all that:
| Code: | | BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="MATSHITA", SYSFS{model}="DMC-LC20 ", KERNEL="sd?1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="camera" |
which works, when i turn my camera on i get a symlink from /dev/camera as well...but, of course, that gets me nowhere for the moment.
so...any other good ideas? anyone have any success upgrading the kernel? i'm still running 2.6.3-gentoo-dev...anyone using mm-sources having better luck? |

| Currently running 2.6.5-mm6, with no difference. This is starting to get slightly annoying, would use the camera more if I didn't have to unload it with the laptop every time It's bizarre that this is the umpteenth kernel version already and there's still no fix. |

It took a while for the camera to arrive. It is great, a Panasonic DMC FZ 10.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it worked out of the box with gentoo. I simply mounted /dev/sdb1. I use gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5-r1. I can post my config if you want. |

I am not currently on my home computer. I will post it this evening.
It does not work by just
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cam |
because there is not /dev/sda1 when the camera is plugged in and turned on. I have to
and quit out of fdisk directly (as root of course), then /dev/sda1 is there and everything works fine.
I am working on the problem. Strangely this behavior does not occur with my mp3 player... |

| Behaves differently, then. I have /dev/sda1 visible immediately, but cannot fdisk /dev/sda because it says that the device cannot be opened. |

This is my kernel-config file. I use gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5-r1. Good Luck.
BTW, I could not get /dev/sda1 without using fdisk. I made another post regarding this: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=164555 |

Mikko_PKP, umk, and others,
would you mind checking this big report for me?
In summary (read the bug report for details):
I find, after having investigated the "no medium found"issue, that it only occurs if udev.rules is not in its original state: the moment I add an extra line to udev.rules, my card reader will start coughing "no medium found".
If this happens to you too, please update the bug-report and/or this thread.
Thanks! |

Just made the switch to udev. All better now. OK, it worked for me with this little trick, but now everything is fine  . |

@AlterEgo:
Just read the bug report. Sorry, a little late and nothing like this on my machine. Like I said in my last post, everything works. Even better as with devfs. |

I'll bring this topic back up since I still can't get things to work properly.
Had a hard drive crash a couple of months ago and rebuilt my entire system, did away with genkernel and now I have everything hand-configured, cups running, CD-RW working under ATAPI, everything fine. Didn't really bother about the camera for a while, just used the WinXP laptop to download images. Some time ago I looked at udev and thought that might be helpful. I took a look at the Gentoo udev tutorial and tried to install everything correctly. However, nothing still works.
Using this simple udev.rules file I did manage to get the camera to show up one single time.
| Code: |
BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="Panasonic", KERNEL="sd?1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="camera" |
It made the symlink /dev/camera as it should have, but refused to mount it with the infamous "no medium found". I then realised I didn't have vfat loaded, so I modprobed vfat and tried again - nothing, can't even see /sys/block/sda/sda1 anymore - thus, udev won't create the symlink even though the camera is detected. After plugging it in, tail /var/log/messages gives me:
| Code: |

Where did I go wrong, and how can this one thing be so bloody difficult |
