07ab:fccd - USB-HDD not working
Last modified: 2006-03-13 23:02:27 UTC
I got a Freecom Classic HDD connected via USB. Using SuSE 9.3 it worked, better even, I filled it with about 40GB of data. According to this site it should work on a "normal" kernel: http://edelweiss.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2912 On SuSE 10.0 however, I don't get it to work at all... All I get is: linux:/home/grimweb # lsusb Bus 004 Device 016: ID 07ab:fccd Freecom Technologies and it's not recognised. I've asked how to get it working on every Linux Comunity I know, including the Novell Install Support, but nobody had a clue of how to get it working. So my logical conclusion: there must be a bug in the SuSE 10.0 kernel or in the HAL-module.
Why do you think it is not working? Can you attach the ouput of the 'hwinfo' command? And have you tried the 10.1 Beta 3 release to see if it works better there?
Created attachment 67469 [details] HWinfo output

Created attachment 67471 [details] HWinfo output
Created attachment 67472 [details] HWinfo output
Created attachment 67473 [details] SIGA.html this is an old SIGA.html made for Novell installation support, I don't remember how I made it.
excuses for the many HWinfo: Novell kept giving me 504s, didn't know it was actually posted
Comment on attachment 67472 [details] HWinfo output None of the hwinfo's attached are the full file. can you retry?
I see some "rejecting I/O to dead device" messages in the system log you posted. are you sure this device is still working? Does it work on any other machine anymore?
And could you try the 10.1 beta3 release?

It still works on the WinXP laptop my mother owns. I don't have any other Linux Machines to test it on.

(In reply to comment #13) > (In reply to comment #10) > > And could you try the 10.1 beta3 release? > > OpenSuSE is down, I can't There are to many faults in the update process, some of the programms it tries to remove are vital to my operation.
Can you just try updating the kernel package?
hi have a look at this bug which seems to be the same, i've been having the same problem since suse 10 came out and no one has given any answers. i hope linking these two bugs helps get a solution. bug #121899
(In reply to comment #15) > Can you just try updating the kernel package? > I tried that... crashed the entire system... So with the new install I choose to go back to 9.3, since I'm certain that works... bad luck for the $50 I spend... Bug not resolved though...
Looks like following is the solution to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=135362 I don't dare to try though.. since SuSE 9.3 is running like a charm now... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 135362 ***
Thanks everybody for trying to help me out here, I'd almost forget your effords in my own frustration... You've been a great help.
