Problem detecting USB peripherals
Hi people,
I am trying to make my two USB peripherals : Iomega Zip 100 USB and Iomega Predator 3 to work in RedHat 8.0 through a Cardbus PCMCIA USB 2.0 card. It is a no-brand one so I don't known which company manufactured it, but it is based on the NEC chip. My motherboard also has one built-in USB port. it is working using the uhci module. I am using kernel 2.5.46 with support for USB and hotplug, while ehci, uhci, ohci, usb-storage, scsi generic, scsi cdrom were compiled as modules. I have installed the pcmcia-cs 3.2.3 packages, and when I slot in the Cardbus, the appropriate modules were automatically loaded (yenta_socket, pcmcia_core, ehci_hcd and usb_ohci). Now, no matter what I do, I can't get any device that I connect to any USB port (either the Cardbus ones or the mobo one) to be recognized by the kernel when checking either through lsusb and usbview. I have checked through lspci, /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports but cant find any conflict in the resource allocation. Coldplugging or hotplugging the device again doesn't help either. Is there any step that I miss here? Any help would be appreciated ... |
Hi,
Try to install hotplug: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/ It detects usb devices and can mount too ... |
Thanks a lot ...
.. but anyway I've got a new PC with built-in USB 2.0 and everything works fine afterwards. Suspect the problem last time was due to unsupported cardbus.
