 Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2005 11:03 pm Post subject: Western Digital External USB Drive |
 |
|
I've recently purchased an external usb hard drive and I'm trying to get my linux to recognise it so that I can then backup a bunch of files.
I can't seem to find how to mount and format it though. I know this is probably a trivial exercise, but I'm still new to linux. The manual for the hdd says that it is preformatted as a single FAT32 partition.
A dmesg gives this:

anyone? sorry to bump, but this has me stumped!
I think I need to somehow allow it to mount itself at /dev/sda1, but I don't have any sda devices anywhere in /dev! |

Have you configured your kernel for usb mass storage devices (requires scsi disk support) and loaded the module?

Personally, I haven't. But I wasn't the one who setup and installed gentoo on it....
How do I find out if its already done and/or configure and recompile the kernel?
EDIT:
I've tried recompiling the kernel (I think I did it right), but still nothing! in my /usr/src dir I have the following:
* linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2
* linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r3
* linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5
* linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
* linux-2.6.5-rc2-mm3
When the computer boots grub shows two kernels, a red hat one and a 2.6 one (default). So I went into /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-rc2-mm3 and did
| Code: |
# make menuconfig //made suitable changes here as per http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/usb-guide.xml
# make && make modules_install
|
When I reboot I still only get the same two original kernel options appearing in GRUB and still no USB HDD support.
In my search for the answer I found that any USB mass storage device is located at /dev/sda but in my /dev directory I have no sda options! Is this due to the kernel problem above or something else? |

Boot into the kernel with the drive unplugged, and as root use | Code: | | tail -f /var/log/messages |
(or whatever file you're logging to) to get a live view on the log. Then plug the drive in and hope that it gets recongnized. Example: | Code: | Nov 14 21:36:29 danielsrasepc usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

So it appears that the system recognizes it, I just can't seem to access it... |

I could be wrong here, but actually, it seems that the drive is not recognised.
If you will notice the posting by tuam the scsi and usb-storage modules fire up to "claim" the usb drive...

while it seems that they do not in your case:
| Code: | | Nov 15 08:15:09 pylorus kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x1058/0x403) is not claimed by any active driver. |
As I think tuam stated in an earlier post, ensure that you have usb mass storage support and the scsi subsystem support compiled either in the kernel or as modules and loaded.

Maybe you could start with http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/usb-guide.xml

I can't seem to upgrade my kernel.
Currently GRUB lists two kernels:
* Gentoo 2.6
* RedHat
I am following the instructions here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/usb-guide.xml and here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7, but a new kernel just won't appear in GRUB. Also, I can only seem to download gentoo-2.4.31-r1... I can't get a 2.6 kernel even though one is already installed!
In my /usr/src/ directory I have the following:
- linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2
- linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
- linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r3
- linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5
- linux-2.6.5-rc2-mm3
- linux-2.4.31-gentoo-r1
What the shit is going on?? All I want is USB mass storage support... who would have though linux could be so painful! |
