/etc/sysconfig/hwconf with "unknown" devices
I am fairly sure this is fixed in the current rawhide kudzu package - can you try that and reopen if it persists? I tried the latest kudzu from ftp.beta.redhat.com/pub/rawhide, and I got the same result. When I allowed it to remove the configuration, it removed the config for the last device in my hwconf (which I think is the USB monitor control). This really should be fixed as of 0.92-1. I hope. ;) Apparently not solved. Ugh. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26906 *** This isn't really a duplicate of bug 26906. That bug is about "unknown" devices showing up. My problem is that an "unknown" device disappears between install and the first boot. The installer finds one, but upon the first boot, it is gone, and I get the kudzu prompt asking if I want to remove the configuration for the "unknown" device that is gone. This does still happen with beta3 Does it ever show up again on subsequent boots, or is it gone forever? If you look in /proc/bus/usb/devices, does it appear there as well? Out of curiousity (I doubt this matters) was this a text or GUI install? This was a GUI install (straight up normal install - nothing extra at the boot prompt since "expert" crashes on me, already Bugzillaed). This may be something about the device or USB hardware. I believe the "unknown" device that comes and goes is my monitor. This is a later model ViewSonic PT775, with a 4 port USB hub built-in to the base. The monitor itself is a 5th port; you can control the monitor (horiz/vert size/pos, pincusion, etc. like the on-screen controls via front panel buttons) via a Windows program over USB. If I "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices", the hub is there but not the monitor device. If I power cycle the monitor (I have to leave it off for several seconds - if I turn it off for just a second and turn it back on, the hub is gone), the monitor device re-appears. If I then run kudzu, it re-finds the "unknown" device. Here is the info for this device from /proc/bus/usb/devices (is there any tool to parse this info out?): T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=04 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 5 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0611 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none) E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=255ms Anyway, this is probably not a Red Hat problem. Sorry for the false alarm. OK. If the device disappears from the /proc entry, there's very little kudzu can do about finding it again. |
