From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I have a USB thumb drive/mp3 player that uses SD memory. This works fine under FC1. When I connect it, I get the following from dmesg: Nov 27 09:05:35 localhost kernel: usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 3 Nov 27 09:05:46 localhost kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using address 4 Nov 27 09:05:47 localhost kernel: usb-storage: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -1 It will also recognize when I have disconnected the device: usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 3 However, it will never create the /dev entry, and I can see no devices for it under /sys/block/sda Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): USB 1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot up 2. insert USB drive 3. examine /var/log/messages or dmesg Actual Results: I get no access to my USB device Expected Results: I should be able to mount my USB device as a block device Additional info:
Hmm, kernel module usb-storage does not like the device... Nov 27 09:05:47 localhost kernel: usb-storage: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -1 reassigning to kernel
I just finished downloading and burning the latest Knoppix (v3.7) CD, and plugging in my USB device does work under Knoppix, when running the 2.6.9 kernel. It is recognized as /dev/uba1
I have this same problem with the same probe error -1 using a palm Tungsten E with an SD card that is configured to act as a pluggable drive. I am currently using the kernel-2.6.9-1.667 as the kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 is unable to sync with the PDA (there is another bug report for that).
This problem persists for me using the 667, 681 and 724 kernels. Regarding comment #2: Mike - is there any way that you could get the source code to the usb-storage driver on Knoppix so that we can look at the differences it has with respect to the fedora driver. Perhaps that will indicate the problem. Thanks.
The usb-storage driver is part of the kernel source now. Knoppix does use a package called usbutils, version 0.11+cvs20040318-3. Also, I've found a site that seems to store the Knoppix source code: http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/sources/ Hope that helps. I can say, though, that I did not find the usbutils package listed there. Nor did I find the kernel source for the current 3.7 Knoppix distro (2.6.8.1).
This now works as of the latest official kernel (2.6.10-1.737_FC3). Kudos!
