Description:
|
Compaq Presario 2575us. Has 1 VIA Technologies VT8235 USB Enhanced USB controller, 2 VIA Tech. VT82C586B USB controllers, and 1 Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 Firewire controller. As most of you are probably familiar with, when installing, you must press F1 at the cd boot and choose either linux noauto or expert noauto to install, otherwise the installation will freeze when attempting to detect the firewire. The problem emerges after installation with how to enable the devices. Although I selected noauto, the above devices were already identified. In order to make these devices function I have to become root in a console window and type
modprobe hid
modprobe usbcore
modprobe ohci1394
modprobe ohci-hcd
modprobe uhci-hcd
modprobe ehci-hcd
You can also add it to your /ect/rc.local to automate those commands on startup.
Here is the complete listing for the USB and Firewire in the Mandrake Control Center Hardware on my machine,
