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. Additional info:
Created attachment 101781 [details] 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: Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: UHCI Host Controller Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: irq 11, io base 00001860 Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: Vendor: SAMSUNG Model: CD-ROM SN-124 Rev: N102 Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revis ion: 02 Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage Dec 13 10:47:01 lynx kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered. 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.
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.
Looks like the USB CD-ROM issue is fixed in FC4.
