USB pendrive not working on kernel 2.6.8.1 (Slack 10.0)

mmmm · 10-03-2004, 08:38 AM

HI,
I have Slack 10.0. On 2.6.8.1 kernel usb pendrive doesn't work !
Kernel was compiled with

Code:

# USB support
#
CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
                                                                                
#
# Miscellaneous USB options
#

CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
                                                                                
#
# USB Host Controller Drivers
#
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
#

Of course modules support is enabled. When I type "lsmod" I get :

Code:

root@spaceship:~# lsmod

scsi_mod               57020  2 usb_storage,ide_scsi
root@spaceship:~#

All looks good ! But in dmesg is :

It should be /dev/sd** but it is null !
How to use it ?

I had similar problems having updated my kernel image to 2.6.8 on Debian.

I just found a possible solution to your question (it solved my problem) on another thread

Here:-

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/224849

The scripts I previously used successfully included reference to /dev/sda4 (ie the scsi emulation mapped different usb ports to virtual "partitions" - no longer it seems)

The command which now works for me is:-

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbpen

HTH

I have the same problem on 2.6.8.1 so I stayed with 2.6.7.

By the way, in my case I couldn't mount the USB flash as vfat but I could mount it leaving the type empty and it defaults to msdos or something.

You can read and write to the disk but only with 8.3 naming (no long file names).

mmmm · 10-04-2004, 08:51 AM

So: I tried to mount /dev/sd* but there is no devices sd*
when I type "ls -la /dev/sd*" I get "No such file or directory". Also "fdisk -l sd[a-z]" doesn't print anything.
On 2.4 kernel it was working. On 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 not. And one more: the light on pendrive doesn't shine.
What to do with it ?

------------------------------------------
I think something in dmesg is bad here :

Code:

usb-storage: queuecommand called
usb-storage: *** thread awakened.
usb-storage: Bad target number (1:0)
usb-storage: scsi cmd done, result=0x40000

mmmm · 12-05-2004, 10:54 AM

I 've updated kernel to 2.6.9. Pendrive doesn't work too.

HalfDiminished · 02-09-2005, 12:11 PM

I have a fresh debian sarge install and compiled kernel-source-2.6.10 and now I have the same problem. Truncated names on my usb drive that will only mount as msdos. vfat mount attempts fail - bad fs, superblock, blah blah blah. I'm researching this issue and will let you know what I come up with.

HalfDiminished · 02-16-2005, 02:04 PM

Well, I'm in deep with this one. I forgot that I replied to this thread and have started a new one called "usb drive on Deb Sarge/2.6.10 mounting as msdos not vfat". Still no solution, just more questions. I'll reference this thread on mine. Sorry, I should have just continued this one. It has been said that strange things happen to one's mind after staring at a computer for 10 or 12 hours.

KMcD · 02-16-2005, 02:23 PM

first off, I've never seen a computer that uses both ohci and uhci, that's just weird.

Did u enable the low performance usb driver under block devices?? Try that and see if it helps. If it works your pendrive will be mounted at /dev/uba1.
