 Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 1:26 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] fstab and usb... |
 |
|
My usb seems not to be working under 2.6 but is fine if I boot to 2.4. I've seen references to possible fstab wording having an effect on usb, but I can detect no change in my fstab from previous: | Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda4 /home reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,unhide,noauto 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
I really don't know why I have no usb in 2.6, but I'm skeptical if it's related to fstab.
Anyone with any thoughts on this??
Thanks, in advance...

I'm talking about a digital camera, which I am able to access and download when using kde in 2.4. If I reboot to kde in 2.6 I cannot access the camera. I use digikam within kde for this purpose.

menuconfig does not permit me to select any options for 'Support for hot pluggable devices'... | Code: | () Local version - append to kernel release x x

I'm not sure what that means, but I believe I ran across a statement that that option applies to certain specific motherboards and is therefore not always an option. I would love more information on that too! 
Thanks for your suggestions... I'll check the link...

anyway, does dmesg show your camera?
do you also have coldplug emerged? if not:
emerge coldplug
rc-update add coldplug default
/etc/init.d/coldplug start
about the kernel:
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y |

hds...
I have already installed cold plug, and it is running: | Code: | linux # /etc/init.d/coldplug start
* WARNING: "coldplug" has already been started.
|
I also have hotplug showing in my config...
| Code: | # General setup
#
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""
CONFIG_SWAP=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
# CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE is not set
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y
# CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3 is not set
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
# CONFIG_AUDIT is not set
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=14
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT=y
# CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set
# CONFIG_EMBEDDED is not set
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
# CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set
# CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is not set
CONFIG_FUTEX=y
CONFIG_EPOLL=y
# CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is not set
|
As for dmesg with the camera plugged in, I will try that when I'm on site with the gentoo box in a couple hours (at work right now), and I'll be happy to post the output, then.
Thanks once again for a hand with this... I really appreciate the help!

Thanks...

When I | Quote: | | press Strg-Alt F12 |
I get a black console. Plugging in the camera does nothing to change it.

emerge syslog-ng
rc-update syslog-ng default
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
or something like that..
TTY12 should show some info, no?
btw.. avoid postcount++
------------------------------------------------------------------------
you are able to edit your post, right? no need to reply to yourself!
OTOH, no need to adress me directly. i am going to bed now, i live in europe and it is 11pm over here.
others will help out, if time permits to them. |

It now works!
Syslog-ng did not show any camera usb plug-in activuty in TTY12...
Looking back over the usb doc http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/usb-guide.xml and comparing it to my 2.6 .config, led to the discovery of some options that I should have 'built-in' rather than use as modules. Changing my kernel configuration, accordingly, resolved the problem.
The digital cam is now fully accessable! 
Thanks, to all, for your help with this!
