ianw1974 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Add this line to your /etc/modprobe.conf: install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true and comment out this one by putting a # in front of it: #install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true does it help? (I put the # in above, so you can see how this line should look when finished). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) This what modprobe.conf looks like now: [jethro@0a0d12f9a6a ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel alias net-pf-10 off install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true # install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true remove unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove unknown install unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install unknown remove snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-atiixp options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 alias ath0 ath_pci alias ath0:9 ath_pci For a moment there I thought it worked and I was very happy, but after 20 minutes or so, the USB crashed again :( This is what lsmod looks like: root@0a0d12f9a6a jethro]# lsmod | grep usb usbmouse 3808 0 usbhid 42528 0 usbcore 100476 5 usbmouse,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd Edited May 15, 2006 by jethro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 This is contents of my /etc/modprobe.conf: alias eth0 e100 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true options snd device_mode=0666 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 the last 3 lines are relating to my sound card. I checked another machine I have, and it just has one other the scsi_hostadapter. Going by your /etc/modprobe.conf, I've made some changes, so let's see what happens next. First take a copy of your current file just in case: cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.old now, the new config: #Network config alias eth0 8139too alias net-pf-10 off #SCSI hostadapter install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true # USB config # first line is old config commented out, second is new one # install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true #Sound config remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel # not sure about these unknown lines, possibly something to do with soundconfig remove unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove unknown install unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install unknown #continue of sound config remove snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-atiixp options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 I would be tempted to place # in front of all the sound lines just purely while we are testing to see what happens. I have a very minimal config for mine, and I use alsa for sound. I'm not sure if yours is or not. But that's something that's easily identifiable later.

jethro Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Alright, this is how my /etc/modprobe.conf looks now: [jethro@0a0d12f9a6a IsaViz]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf ### Network config alias eth0 8139too #alias net-pf-10 off ### SCSI hostadapter install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_sil; /bin/true ### USB config # first line is old config commented out, second is new one # install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true ### Sound config #remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel #install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } #alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel ### not sure about these unknown lines, possibly something to do with soundconfig #remove unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove unknown #install unknown /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install unknown ### continue of sound config #remove snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp #install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-atiixp I commented as much as possible, but my USB still crashes.

ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm wondering if it's something to do with your udev rules, which are causing the crash. Was this an upgrade of a previous system, or a clean install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm wondering if it's something to do with your udev rules, which are causing the crash. Was this an upgrade of a previous system, or a clean install? It was a clean install from the Mandriva One Beta Live CD. Can I see this "udev rules" somewhere?

ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Just out of interest, have you tried Mandriva 2006 instead? I'm wondering if it's something to do with Mandriva One instead being beta that's causing all this. Mandriva One and Mandriva 2006 are virtually the same anyway, but since Mandriva One is beta, you'd probably be better off with something non-beta like Mandriva 2006.

jethro Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have been told that, although it is called "Beta" it is actually a finished version. I could not install Mandriva 2006 because of the problem that it did not recognize my hard drive controller. So Mandriva 2006 is not an option for me. Is there a way to modify these "udev rules" or something? What do they actually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm no expert on the udev stuff, but it controls all your devices, etc. The rules are normally under /etc/udev. It could be a bit hit and miss trying to sort these out, but it's all I can think of as to why you're having problems with your usb. We've figured the module is loading OK, so that's fine. Have you been able to apply updates to the system? EDIT: I've had a thought, have you tried downloading and using a knoppix live cd? Do you have usb problems when using this? Also, if you boot and solely use the Mandriva One CD as a live cd, do you have the usb problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I was able to update my system, I am doing this quite regular. This is what I can find about the udev rules: [jethro@laptop rules.d]$ pwd /etc/udev/rules.d [jethro@laptop rules.d]$ ll totaal 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18278 feb 24 14:04 50-mdk.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 288 jan 26 20:04 60-dynamic.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 okt 27 2005 60-hal.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36188 feb 24 14:04 70-hotplug_map.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 dec 29 21:56 70-hp1000fw.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31300 jan 26 20:16 70-libgphoto2.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28363 feb 27 14:48 70-libusbscanner.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252 dec 2 12:28 80-eagle-usb.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184 sep 15 2005 80-speedtch.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100 sep 16 2005 alsa.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 307 feb 24 14:04 hotplug.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 312 feb 24 14:04 provision.tbl I will boot with Mandriva One this evening or tomorrow to see if I get the USB problem then to. If I remember it correctly there where no problems when I booted from it in the past and there where also no problems when I first installed it.

jethro Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I do not have the USB problem with Knoppix or Mandriva One Beta, so it should be fixable. Perhaps there is something wrong with my device section in xorg.conf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 xorg is mainly for the graphical display of your machine as well as keyboard and mouse. This won't be the problem for your usb devices. All this is x server related stuff. I'm not sure what else to suggest, other than a clean install and see how it works. I remember you said it worked, and then stopped working, so can only think that an update caused your problem. I would do a clean install, and use this for a few weeks and see what happens. Do not apply updates though, since this was when the problem started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well, untill now the problem only arised when using my mouse. When I used my mouse something crashed, causing all of my USB devices to go down. So I can imagine the section about my mouse in the xorg.conf file can be wrong.

ianw1974 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and I'll take a look at it and see if anything is obvious as to what's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
