Problem initializing USB modules on Debian

X_user · 06-21-2006, 10:53 PM

For the past day I have spent alot of time reading man pages, forums etc regarding installing a USB complact flash reader. My problem is actually getting the USB modules such as usb-storage to even initialize.
The step I have tried so far:
changed my 2.4 kernel to a 2.6.8-3-686
used depmod to attempt to initialize the modules
changed /etc/modules /*added "usb-storage" */

running lsmod confirms that the modules do not load.

This is what dmesg produces.

Code:

hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 3
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 3, error -71
usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using address 4

Apparantly the kernel recognizes the card reader but the compact flash is never recognized.

Any help is alot of help, Thanks.

SET_ADDRESS in USB enumeration has failed. Can you post the lsmod output to us? Note, you can redirect output to a file:

Code:

/sbin/lsmod > lsmod.txt

Hey, thanks for the reply, however this problem was simply a result of an incompatible usb hub/compact flash reader.

After trying all the previous steps, I tried using a card reader I knew worked.

Just for kicks anyone know how I could fix the incompatability issue. It was a 10-1 RadioShack "Dazzle" mulitcard reader. Newest version. (For Compact Flash)

The working flash reader was a "Dazzle" CF reader, not multicard.

Im happy to provide more information if u need it.
