Hi all,

I use debian sarge for an embedded app. So it doesnt have any desktop manager (X). When I plug in a USB stick, it fails to get detected. I dont see anything relevant in my dmesg also. Im attaching my dmesg for your reference - [hdc is my CF card on which debian is installed.

Hi...Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks,

If I remember correctly you can use hotplug is Sarge. A usb stick is seen as a storage device and since you appear to have all the necessary available you should be able to mount it like any storage device;

as root; mount -t vfat /dev/sdd1 /media (or tmp or whatever, also the relevant file system; used vfat in this example)

When etch arrived they moved from hotplug to hal which kind of automates the process.

When you plug it in it should register in /dev/bus/usb/ so try the command lusb and see what comes up.

unev_21

Thanks TigerOC.
lusb is not found in my box. The response is "-bash: lusb: command not found"
And, regd /dev/bus/usb, that is also not found. I have only /dev/usb/.
when I ls /dev/usb, I have
"cpad0 ez4 hiddev13 lp0 lp5 mouse14 scanner0 scanner5
ez0 ez5 hiddev14 lp1 lp6 mouse15 scanner1 scanner6
ez1 ez6 hiddev15 lp10 lp7 mouse2 scanner10 scanner7

ez15 hiddev10 hiddev7 lp2 mouse11 mouse8 scanner2
ez2 hiddev11 hiddev8 lp3 mouse12 mouse9 scanner3
ez3 hiddev12 hiddev9 lp4 mouse13 rio500 scanner4"

I'm stuck. No idea how to proceed.
Since there is no desktop manager like X, should I do some operations manually for the stick to get detected that otherwise would have been handled by X?

unev_21

Another strange thing I noticed is that my stick is can be found in /proc/bus/usb/devices as

"T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0

E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms"

Am I missing someting very silly???

vonbiber

after you inserted your usb stick and waited for
a few seconds
what does this

cat /proc/partitions

display?

if the key is detected you should see new entries
aside from your hard drive partitions
(the last column gives you the name of the device and its partitions
.... sdb
.... sdb1
or
.... sdc
.... sdc1
etc.
)
if you don't see any new entry, as root,
check if you have the command 'rescan-scsi-bus':

which rescan-scsi-bus

If you have it, try it:

rescan-scsi-bus

then try again

cat /proc/partitions

unev_21

Hi vonbiber..
cat /proc/partitions displays -
<
major minor #blocks name

22 0 500472 hdc
22 1 11056 hdc1
22 2 21168 hdc2
22 3 87696 hdc3
22 4 380016 hdc4
>
evenafter few mins of inserting the stick, its the same...'rescan-scsi-bus' does't exist in the box..

TigerOC

You probably don't have the necessary modules installed. There is some interesting info on this here.

The device will be treated as a scsi device so you need install the module scsi_mod (modprobe scsi_mod) and check that you have uhci support (modprobe usb-uhci). The reference above will help you figure this one out.

unev_21

Thank you all guys...I fugured it out...
It seems for USB mass storage to work, you need the following modules loaded

usb_storage 28260 0
sr_mod 11044 0
sd_mod 10512 0
scsi_mod 71496 3 usb_storage,sr_mod,sd_mod

newbies, heads up!

David the H.

By the way, the command is "lsusb", not "lusb". On debian it's found in the usbutils package.
