I'm having problems getting a usb device to show up here. Its a psx/n64 usb adaptor which shows up fine in Windows and appears to show up under Knoppix. On my system, the kernel can't seem to find it or the usb printer. A check of /proc/bus/usb/devices only shows 2 devices: the hub and an external hard drive. The hard drive works and can be mounted/read/written just fine. Under Knoppix 3.4 the kernel recognizes something there:
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-2, assigned address 3
usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x6666/0x667) is not claimed by any active driver.
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-3, assigned address 4
usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0xd17) is not claimed by any active driver.
But I get nothing like that on my setup. I'm using a 2.6 series kernel and have been keeping it up to date(up to 2.6.7-rc2 now) in the hopes that some bugfix will correct this but I haven't been lucky yet.
I've created the devices /dev/input/js{0-3} as mentioned in the joystick docs but I get a "no such device" when I try to cat them. I've tried modprobing joydev, usbhid, and the hcds in probably every way possible but to no avail. I had 'alias char-major-13 input' turned on for a time but that didn't seem to do anything either. Any help here would be appreciated. Here is my usb part of dmesg (with verbose turned on) followed by the Knoppix one for comparison:
