 Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:10 pm Post subject: No USB being detected <SOLVED> |
 |
|
Hi,
I had to reinstall Gentoo recently so I used a 2005 live cd. Now when I try to access anything that uses USB such as my Logitec QuickCam Express and Lexar JumpDrive they are not being detected.
When I was configuring my Kernel ( 2.6.15-r1 ) I added USB support, V4L, SCSI support for my USB Drive. Anything USB releated is not detected.
Running "lsusb" shows no output at all. ColdPlug is installed and detects nothing and same with Hotplug.
dmesg shows the following for USB
| Code: |
SCSI subsystem initialized
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usbmon: debugfs is not available
USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.3 Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered.
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.10rc3 (Mon Nov 07 13:30:21 2005 UTC).
|
I also had to modify /etc/conf.d/rc and changes a YES parameter to NO, since I was getting over 8,000 devices listed in /dev.
| Code: |
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"
|
With all this done, anything of my USB devices are not even registering that they exist. if anyone can help me on this situation with me having to reinstall again would be great.....

Something is wrong with your kernel. I would suggest tat you double check that everything is OK.
Also try
| Code: | | lspci -v|grep -i usb |
and make sure that you are using the correct interface (OHCI or UHCI). |

|

Thanks for the quick reply ASID.
I ran the command and there was no output.
In the kernel I did compile the correct OHCI. I have an intel processor and in the kernel shows which one I should be using.
Everything is compiled into the kernel and not as a module.

This is very wierd. It looks like there is a problem with the kernel. Check /usr/src/linux/.config for:
| Code: | CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y |
If I were you I would recompile the kernel and load it to boot. |

You can use lspci to find out which you need, though it won't do any harm to enable both, apart from increased kernel memory usage if both drivers are loaded.

You could always try it as a module and see if it makes a difference. I know it shouldn't make a difference but there have been kernel bugs before where things only worked when compiled as modules.

| Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 2:42 pm Post subject: Compile tonight... |
|
|
I have a few items not set so I am going to set them, compile and reboot and see what happens tonight.
The following are not set
| Code: |
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD is not set
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD is not set
|
I find that odd even though I had these set to compile in the kernel...
Thanks for the help, hope this works, I'll reply back later tonight with the outcome.

That should be the problem.
Good luck  |
