I'm trying to get my usb to work (almost for two days now )
I did work whit my previous distro (redhat ) but now I am using gentoo and i
can get it work !

/proc/bus/usb/devices is always empty

this is my kernel configuration
------------------------------------------
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem
<M> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support
<M> USB Mass Storage support
-------------------------------------------

when i try the module I get

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pinguin /home/zuppaman # insmod usb-uhci
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r7/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When i look in at my interrupts i see that the usb devices is sharing his
irq.
Although I enabled "use irq for usb" in my bios ??

------------------------------------------------------------------------
pinguin /home/zuppaman # cat /proc/interrupts

Here's some kernel output

Hi,

I don't use USB yet, but I have a keyboard with usb hub, and my /proc... is not empty so I will give you my settings, maybe it will help you.
