Ok, I have a iRiver h320 and I am running FC2. I have the iRiver connected via a USB 2.0 cable and the iriver device says that it is connected. I just can not find it on my machine.....

here is what my dmesg looks like :

any help would be great.....I just need to find where the device.....not sure how to do that...


thanks for the help

Hi.

See if this helps:

ilikejam,

thanks, i have seen that post before.... I still can not figure out where my iriver is right now....ie. I do not know if it is at sdb1, or where it might be.....I tried that mount as it was mentioned,,.... and here is what I got...

[root@localhost mnt]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/H320
mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device


so.....

any idea's on how to find where my H320 is?

This:
usb 5-2: device not accepting address 2, error -110
and this:
usb 5-2: device not accepting address 3, error -110

indicate that Linux can't deal with the device. Can you use things like flash drives, or USB hard drives on your machine?

Dave

This is the first USB device that I have tried to use on my linux system....

So....

still not sure......I know that the iriver H320 can function in linux. It is treated like a UMS device....so

Ian

I've seen errors like you were getting on my machine before. Could you post the output from '/sbin/lsmod'

Dave

here is my lsmod....slightly edited....

Hmmm.

This bit in that forum I linked is a bit interesting:
"First of all, I was connecting the USB cable to the Media port, and not the Data port. "

Does that make any sense?

Plug it in, wait a few seconds, then run dmesg again and post the last 15 or so lines.

Dave

Dave,

Yeah, I understand what they are talking about there.....on the h320 there is a data port and music port both of which are USB 2.0. The music port is used in windows......when transfering files that are copy protected...etc......the data port is what needs to be used in linux....got that...

my dmesg looks the same as last time...

ian

any other ideas?

The last five lines of your dmesg are:
scsi0 : AdvanSys SCSI 3.3GJ: PCI Ultra: IO 0xEC00-0xEC0F, IRQ 0x3
Vendor: SAF Model: CD-RW12432 Rev: 1.12
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
?

If so, then your machine isn't even recognising there's a device at all. Do any USB devices work?

Dave

Not sure about any other USB devices....I do not have any belive it or not.....

Linux see's the adapter.....

just not the iriver...

hum....

Judging from your lsmod output, you've got more than one USB card in your system (the ohci_hcd and uhci_hcd modules are both loaded). Try using a different USB port.

Dave

Dave,

Yes I do have more than one USB port. The MB has 3 on it, and those are USB 1.1 not 2.0. I have not tried them but I will. I also installed a PCI card that has 2 USB 2.0 ports on it....that is what I would like to use...because it is a lot faster...but If i Have to use the 1.1 i will...

I know that the USB 2.0 is the NEc chipset and not the intel, and it is marked ehci_hcd as the driver....

ian

These iRivers are cool little devices and I may buy one some day because I read they support vorbis.

All USB memory type devices I've played with have all turned up as /dev/sdaX for me (where X is the partition number of the USB memory device). You could even try listing the partitions of it with "fdisk /dev/sda" or some variation of that.

Do you have "usbview" installed and does that output anything referencing your iRiver device?

If not, try different settings in your BIOS in regards to the speed of the USB port. Even some of the newest BIOS don't allow a USB 2.0 device to have the BIOS set to USB 2.0 or Hi-speed setting.

For example, I have a SanDisk USB 2.0 Micro Cruzer memory module that I just picked up. I could not get the Cruzer to work under Linux using Hi-Speed USB 2.0 that my PC BIOS supports even though this drive works in Windows that way.

Instead I set my BIOS to USB Legacy mode and "Full Speed". The drive then works.

This leads me to believe the USB 2.0 functionality is a device driver function and not a BIOS level function. (But I am not a guru so I can't say this is 100% true, just what makes logical sense based on my experimentation).

I'd recommend leaving out any add-in PCI USB cards while troubleshooting your card initially. You could create frustration by having too many variables to factor in. Start with the USB 1.1 ports and work your way up once you see a spark of life.

Dave, and elfoozo,

thanks for all the help. I am not sure what I did, but I did change cables, and now all of a sudden it is working. Hum.....whatever works.

I changed cables and then ran dmesg again, and there it was under sda1....

So here is a break down of what I did :

1. Turn the iRiver H320 on and connect the USB cable to the data port.
2. Open a terminal and SU to root
3. run dmesg.....look for something like "scsi2 : scsi emulation for USB mass storage device..."
below that line you will find where the device is attached.
4. run mkdir /mnt/H320
this makes a dir later to mount to ...
5. run gedit /etc/fstab and add a line that is similar to this :

/dev/sd?X /mnt/H320 vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0

this allows the device to be mounted to the /mnt/H320 dir. the ? is the letter that you found in dmesg (a,b,c etc...) and the X is the number found in demsg ( 1,2,3 etc...)
6. close gedit
7. exit out of the terminal

now you should be ready to go...

from here there are a couple of ways to go.....

1. open a terminal and type : mount /mnt/H320 after that an icon should appear on your desktop....
2. Go to the menu->system tools -> disk management-> click on the H320 and hit mount......and an icon should appear on your desktop

You can now transfer files just like it was a different hard drive....
****important***** make sure that you unmount the drive before disconnecting the drive. use the umount command....

that should do it.....

For a little more info you should check out this site....

hope this helps for those in the future..
