Last modified: 2007-06-04 16:41:38 UTC
Hi all: alpha3 can't detect my usb-storage device,doesn't mount usbfs,doesn't create /dev/usb....
ah. do you have more infos or should I just close this report?
I update from 10.1a3 to alpha4 and I see the same problem.I suposse is a problem related with udev and the incapacity to create devices dinamicatly... regards
I'm not sure if you have read any of the "how to report a bug" sites on the web. attach the output of 'hwinfo' of the working and non-working case.
Created attachment 61854 [details] my hwinfo I hope this log help for the udev problem. regards
can you try to run 'modprove -v uhci-hcd'? I dont see any usb modules loaded. grep usb /proc/modules
Created attachment 61897 [details] hwinfo with usb modules loaded Well my system is too old to execute modprove and I must to run modprobe instead ;-) when I run grep usb /proc/modules I see this: usbcore 132100 2 uhci_hcd, Live 0xf8ead000 I can see any sda device when connect my usb HD... May I create sda... devices by hand? How? regards
Sorry the correct line is: I can't see any sda device....
I create a new /dev/sda y /dev/sda1 with mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 and mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 but without luck... :-(
Load also usb-storage, sd_mod and sr_mod. But in any case, cant be a kernel bug.
what does: rpm -q udev and rpm -q kernel-default and uname -a print?
OK... I run modprobe -v usb-storage modprobe -v sd_mod modprobe -v sr_mod run rpm -q udev -> udev-077-3 run rpm -q kernel-default -> package kernel-default is not installed run rpm -qa | grep 'kernel' -> kernel-update-tool-0.9-18 kernel-smp-2.6.15_rc5_git3-2 kernel-source-2.6.15_rc5_git3-2 and run uname -a -> Linux linux 2.6.15-rc5-git3-2-smp #1 SMP Wed Dec 14 13:10:38 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux well I must to say that after load the rest of usb modules I can mount 3 differents usb devices: TOMTOM GO 300,DIGITAL CAMERA FINEPIX F455 (FUJIFILM) and a little flash-hd 128Mb well the question is: why the system doesn't load the usb modules when it need and I must do it by hand?
I update to udev-079-2,hwinfo-11.31-2,hal-0.5.6_CVS_20051214-3. Restart the system and see that must create all devices again... :-( usb HD devices only works if I load the modules and create sda by hand... Must I create udev.rules by hand also for the devices works? regards
No, all this should work without any manual setup, and it does on all boxes I've seen so far. Does: killall udevd /etc/init.d/boot.udev start after a reboot load the modules?
Oh my God! killall udevd saw this messages: udevd: no process killed It seems udevd doesn't start at the begining? When I start the HD usb is detected... I reboot again and look for this,without create sda and load modules by hand... Please wait to my answer... I'll write you later regards
Does: /etc/init.d/boot.d/S02boot.udev exist? If not, see if: insserv -d boot.udev creates it.
Hi again: Well first of all,I reboot and see that boot.udev doesn't run. I see I have a /etc/init.d/boot.d/S04boot.udev also I have S04boot.device-mapper and S04boot.md before boot.udev... Is this important for a reason boot.udev not run? I run insserv -d boot.udev and create a new S02boot.udev and after I can see S04boot.device-mapper and S04boot.md. I reboot again and udev runs.Devices like mice,sound.... are created and usb are detected Only I see that on boot messages,1 time cron doesn't load (I must run it by hand) and 1 time also I have a lot of messages related with NetworkManager.The last time cron loads normally Another thing,I must change on /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules urandom mode from 660 to 666 because I have problems with amule and encripts routines. seems all works fine now. thank you very much for your great help regards
well it seems all ok now regards
Closed.
