Hi there, Some may remember me having trouble with my Compaq Presario SR1675CL - a noapic option got me to the point that I have a system now that works. One thing still puzzles me though: I cannot see any usb devices. Here are my diagnostics:
family:/home/kai# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge (rev 10) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 Serial ATA Controller 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller (rev 11) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 IDE Controller 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-ISA Bridge 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 PCI-PCI Bridge So the USB Controller is seen. family:/home/kai# grep -i usb /var/log/dmesg [ 0.089885] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs [ 0.089977] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub [ 0.090055] usbcore: registered new device driver usb [ 2.238005] ohci_hcd: 2006 August 04 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver [ 15.797635] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... [ 15.797657] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [ 15.797660] USB Mass Storage support registered. So it does all that supposedly is to be done. Same grep on syslog, kern.log, and messages yields no additional information. BUT: family:/home/kai# ls -al /proc/bus/usb total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 6 18:54 . dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Aug 6 18:54 .. and no usb device I plug in is detected (they get power though)... Where to look next? What other diagnostics to run? Or does anybody know what I am dealing with here??? Oh: one more diagonstic: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> uname -a Linux family 2.6.25-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 14 11:05:23 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux As ususal: Many thanks in advance!
