ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Check if hotplug is enabled. This might help with your usb devices. Also have a look in updates, see if there is a udev update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Check if hotplug is enabled. This might help with your usb devices. Also have a look in updates, see if there is a udev update. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did update udev to the final version off 2006 but didnt help much....I think is udev because after i plugin my usb stick there is some kernel logging in syslog you know "waiting for device to seetle down.....", and a few seconds later there is some udev logging with "()exec failed:No such file or directory..." and the mount point isnt created... Note:I have another box with same distro version Mdk 2005LE with this udev version and works very nice. I also did check the udev .conf files on both machines and compared them....but to me they are identical....so i cant figure out whats going on...any clues? P.S:My usb bluetooth adapter works fine, though. Cheers... Edited November 8, 2005 by wardevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AnalogDog Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I am having exactly the same problem. I just did my standard Mandrake upgrade from 2005LE to 2006 Official via urpmi, and as usual something is quite messed up. This time it is my USB subsystem. If I attach my Zire 31 PalmOS device, I get the following kernel messages: Nov 22 21:12:02 Timmy kernel: usb 3-5: USB disconnect, address 14 Nov 22 21:12:17 Timmy kernel: usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8 Nov 22 21:14:09 Timmy udev: udev is running succeeded Typically, I think, these should be followed by hotplug creating devices for them, usually /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1, then /dev/ttyUSB1 is symlinked to /dev/pilot so a sync can occur. If I connect my card reader to my machine: Nov 22 21:12:17 Timmy kernel: usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8 Nov 22 21:14:09 Timmy udev: udev is running succeeded Nov 22 21:14:23 Timmy kernel: usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 8 Nov 22 21:24:51 Timmy kernel: usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16 Nov 22 21:24:51 Timmy udev[13188]: run_program: exec of program failed And again, no device to mount, no card gets read. I am just not sure what should happen next? Is udevsend supposed to fire off and get hotplug started? What's going on? I have a USB mouse, and the only way I could get it to run was to start drakconf, and reinitialize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I've had problems in the past with USB devices on MDK 10.1 Official, and to get my hard disk to work I had to make sure it was connected to the machine and then turn the machine on. Once it had been detected and recognised by HardDrake, I was then OK to connect and reconnect whilst my machine was powered on. It was only the first time, the machine had to be off whilst connecting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AnalogDog Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I am having exactly the same problem./snip/ I am just not sure what should happen next? Is udevsend supposed to fire off and get hotplug started? What's going on? I have a USB mouse, and the only way I could get it to run was to start drakconf, and reinitialize it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I fixed it, and I ended up doing two things, then rebooting my machine, so I am not sure which one did it. 1) I applied "chmod +x /etc/udev/rules.d/*" in order to make the rules executable, as only one was executable on my system after upgrade. 2)due to a little squabble with urpmi, I installed a new kernel: 2.6.12-12mdk-i586-up-1GB, which I booted onto. After these 2 things, I was able to sync my USB Palm to KPilot, and connect to my flash drive. I am considering the fix complete.
