Plug-in usb hard drive gives errors in /var/log/messeges and dmesg

jasone · 11-17-2005, 01:55 AM

Hi I'm using linux 2.6.14.2 on my Slackware 10.2 laptop. I wanna use a external USB 2.0 hard drive with 2 NTFS partitions. But I get these errors when I plug it in:

$ tail -f /var/log/messages

Code:

The last rows from dmesg:

Anyone out there who can tell me why it's disconnecting all the sudden? If so, thanks a bunch in advance!

did you compile ntfs support into the kernel?

jasone · 11-17-2005, 02:35 AM

Finlay · 11-17-2005, 02:40 AM

what is the output of:
lsmod

jasone · 11-17-2005, 06:19 AM

I can't check my lsmod right now but this might help you help me:

This is from my kernel .config:

Code:

CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437

you are either missing a few modules or they might be compiled into your kernel, check for:
usbcore.o
usb-uhci.o
sd_mod.o
and you might need
scsi_mod.o

Finlay · 11-17-2005, 01:40 PM

also usb 2.0 uses the:
ehci_hcd module
i don't see that one either

my bad i'm blind

jasone · 11-17-2005, 03:09 PM

Thanks!

I wasn't able to modprobe them so I guess they ar compiled in the kernel

Finlay · 11-17-2005, 03:14 PM

when you upgraded to the new kernel did you use:
make oldconfig from the config file that Pat provided?
or did you compile from scratch?

Thanks for still showing interest!

Did a few modifications to this one: http://www.slackware.se/jens/doc/ker...-sata-2.6.14.2

well sorry not sure what else to try
