 |
|
I got some problems getting USB to work on my system. Here is what I'm working with:
Kernel: 2.4.25-gentoo-r2
Motherboard: MSI K7M2 Delta (nForce 2 Chipset / USB 2.0)
First of all, I tried it using a Knoppix Live CD (3.4) and it works... So there must be an error in my Gentoo configuration.
On startup, I get the following messages:
| Code: | usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs

Problem is: Nothing happens if I plug in a USB device: No messages on the terminal (as it was the case with Knoppix), no messages in /var/log/messages.
Anybody got a hint where I could start searching for the error?
Thanks for your help!

torf,
Ypu have ehci_hcd enabled for USB 2.0 devices, which is good if you have some. You also have ohci_hcd enabled which is right for your sort of USB 1.1/1.0 root hubs.
At the bottom of dmesg, uhci gets a mention, which is bad because it will fight with ohci.
Redo your kernel an leave out the uhci device driver under USB.

Hi torf,
I use the same board and had to look at these annoying messages for a long time. But now I have found out the real stupid cause ... 
You should have a really thorough look at the usb cabling with his connectors.
I'm speaking about the usb cables supplied with the case (here a Casetek CK-1018). These cables have often unfortunately a different pin configuration from the original MSI cables on Pin9 + 10.
Check the cables and compare with the MSI ones, e.g. from the D-bracket.
If you notice the called difference, simply cut of the cabling from Pin9 and 10 and you should have a working usb 1&2. (Pin9 isn't used here in any case and Pin10 is for USBOC detection which apparently isn't used by this MSI boards)
Are you shure that it's working with Knoppix? ... perhaps the Knoppix autoconfiguration at boottime bypasses the problem.

Nevertheless you should opt for uhci OR ohci ... I think MSI is using the ohci version, so uhci module is obsolete here. (but I have noticed no problems with ohci and uhci together ...)
I hope this hints would be helping to get USB together ...

OK guys, finally (I know, a long time) I found the time to update my kernel. I'm now running 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 and as you told me, I only included one of the usb modules. Unfortunately, it is still not working.
I plugged in my digicam (which still works with the Knoppix LiveCD), and I tried to mount it (which should work without problems, see
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1873). But all I got is
| Code: | # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
|
(The same with /dev/sda2, sda, sdb1, sdb2, sdb).
| Code: | # mount -t usbfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
|
works, and I get a file in /mnt/camera called "devices":
| Code: | # cat /mnt/camera/devices

You need to enable the following:
| Code: | SCSI device support --->
<*> SCSI device support
<*> SCSI disk support
<*> SCSI generic support (Maybe not needed. Not sure.) |
Elucidation:
This is needed to allow mass-storage devices to show up as mountable devices. They'll show up as /dev/sd?? and should be mountable, if there's a filesystem on them.

I already have those options activated:
| Code: | <*> SCSI device support
[*] legacy /proc/scsi/ support
--- SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
<*> SCSI disk support
< > SCSI tape support
< > SCSI OnStream SC-x0 tape support
< > SCSI CDROM support
<*> SCSI generic support
--- Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs
[ ] Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device
[ ] Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K)
[ ] SCSI logging facility
SCSI Transport Attributes --->
SCSI low-level drivers --->
|
I also got /dev/sda1 through /dev/sdd15, but those are IMHO only dummies/placeholders/whatever, like most of the stuff in /dev.
Is there something I have to configure about cold/hotplug (ATM I got hotplug at runlevel default and coldplug at runlevel boot)? |

Yeah, I already read that thread. I'm also trying to get that Ipod Shuffle to work  After all you already got it recognized, I'm not even that far - I don't get any messages when I connect something to the USB port.
I do have to put usb-storage in /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6, right? It wouldn't load automatically at boot. I hope I get that thing working this weekend. Without a Windows-parallel-installation the Ipod is pretty useless to me right now  |
