I took some pictures tonight and plugged in my flash card reader (via usb) as always. Only this time, the device isn't assigned a proper location (like "sdc3").
A little research later and I *think* I need the module "usb-storage", which I can't get to load. It's been a *long* time since I had to mess with modules and I'd like some fresh eyes on what the problem might be.
This is my lsmod output:
Code:

I also ran modprobe with -n -v:
Code:
# modprobe -n -v usb-storage
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko
I have run depmod -a and tried the modprobe again...
Code:
# depmod -a
# modprobe usb-storage
FATAL: Error inserting usb_storage (/lib/modules/2.6.29.6-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko): Invalid argument
If I drill down to the /lib/modules/<kernel -r>/drivers/usb/storage/ where the .ko file is and say:
Code:
# insmod ./usb-storage.ko
insmod: error inserting './usb-storage.ko': -1 Invalid parameters
So.... since I haven't changed anything that I can think of since the last time I took pictures...what happened? How do I fix this?
(Note: I'll be honest. It's 3:30 in the morning and we've been packing for a move. I don't recall how I came to the idea that I might be missing usb-storage. Is this a red herring? Am I barking down the wrong path?)
Thanks in advance!
Anne.
