BB Bold 9700 does not work in mass storage mode[SOLVED]

[jserink]

Hi All:

Before getting rid of HAL with XFCE6.6 I could mount my BB9700 and look at the files like a USB drive.
After getting rid of HAL during my XFCE4.8 upgrade, I can no longer mount my BB9700 as a mass storage device.

I tried commenting out all the line in the /ec/udev/rules.d/10-blackberry.rules file but that didn't change anything.
Here are the log messages:

Mar 27 00:29:09 [kernel] usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10

It does t create a new dive for me in /dev. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot this?

Cheers,
John

Ok, so my system behaves exactly the same way using gentoo sources 2.6.36-r5 and 2.6.36-r8.

I plug in the BB i get this:

Mar 30 15:31:12 [kernel] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9

No udisks message on the disktop.

unplug and get this:

Mar 30 15:33:14 [kernel] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 9


Now. plug in a normal USB memory stick:

Mar 30 15:33:52 [kernel] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
Mar 30 15:33:53 [kernel] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0a16, idProduct=9393

Notice the difference?
The BB causes the usb mass storage driver to come up, the USB memory stick does not.

I think that's a clue but am not sure where to do from there.
Gotta think.

Ideas from anyone appreciated.

Updated to kernel 2.6-38-r6, gentoo-sources and the problem went away.

Actually, the problem came back.....
The solution is to
emerge -C barry

Now it works and it charges.
