Description Brian G. Anderson 2004-05-06 05:06:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I boot my system with a scanner and/or a flash disk, they are not
recognized at boot time.  I always have to unplug the devices and
replug them in after boot.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
usbutils-0.11-4


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug in a scanner and or flash disk befor boot
2. boot the system
3.
  
Actual results:
Neither device is present at boot.  Only after unplugging the devices
and replugging them in are they recognized


Expected results:
the devices should have been recognized at boot.

Very simple workaround for scanners

We should also be changing the X session startup scripts somewhere to give
console owner permission when a user logs in, but I'm not sure where that's
done.

You can also use Debian-like permissions by creating a "scanner" group and
changing the chomd for a chgrp to that group.

Oops, forgot to mention - that patch is for /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner

Seeing this with a USB cd-rom device.  At boot I see:

so it sees it.  Then a bit farther in the logs:

Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: usbcore: deregistering driver usb-storage

Have to remove and reattatch the drive to get the system to see it.

Should note that this is with FC3.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-30 20:52:15 UTC 
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

Please try to reproduce this on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4. If the
issue persists, please open a new issue. Orion - your issue sounds like a kernel
bug.
Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2005-09-30 22:02:53 UTC 
Looks like the USB CD-ROM issue is fixed in FC4.
