From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030403 Description of problem: HotSync of Sony CLIE used to cause the "visor" kernel module to automatically load. After "upgrading" to RH9, a HotSync attempt now produces the following in the messages log: kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x66) is not claimed by any active driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hotplug-2002_04_01-17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH9 2.Connect Sony CLIE USB cable and choose HotSync in PalmOS 3.Notice in the messages log that RH9 failed to support the USB manufactor/vendor code for auto-loading the "visor" Actual Results: kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x66) is not claimed by any active driver. Expected Results: Expected 0x54c/0x66 to auto-load usbserial & visor kernel modules Like RH8 does: /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup visor for USB product 54c/66/100 Additional info: jpilot v0.99.5 fixes some bugs which occationally cause databook entries to be lost. So, of course RH9 continues to distribute... jpilot 0.99.2 with a known databook data lost issue but has a patch for... the configure and Makefile which doesn't correct the databook issue at all NICE! Maybe the hotplug issue is a feature instead of a bug to at least preserve the integraty of the databook... at least until the batteries give out.
Please connect Clie, then copy output of dmesg, /var/log/messages, /proc/bus/usb/devices, and attach them to the bug. PLEASE DO NOT DROP THEM INTO THE COMENTS BOX.
Created attachment 90954 [details] Output from dmesg
Created attachment 90955 [details] /var/log/messages entry when CLIE is connected
Created attachment 90956 [details] Output for /proc/bus/usb/devices
Created attachment 90957 [details] /var/log/messages entry when CLIE MS-Import is connected
Created attachment 90958 [details] /proc/bus/usb/devices when CLIE MS-Import is connected
The first messages & devices files are when the CLIE HotSync application is running which under RH8 causes usbserial & visor kernel modules to automatically load. Under RH9, only if the modules are manually loaded does hotsync'ing work. The problem also effects accessing the CLIE Memory Stick. The second messages & devices file pair are when the CLIE MS-Import application is running which under RH8 causes usb-storage module to automatically load. Again, under RH9 if the module is manually loaded then the memory stick can be mounted as expected.
Nevermind. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug was set to /bin/true Fix was: echo "/sbin/hotplug" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug I'm still trying to figure out what changed the status since this isn't in my /etc/sysctl.conf
