Hi,
In helping someone get the USB backport up and running on a Redhat 6.2
machine, I ran across minor problem that really isn't a problem, but I'm
wondering if there is a solution for. Here's the situation:
You build usbcore and usb-uhci as modules, and you have an entry in
/etc/fstab to allow for mounting of the usbdevfs at bootup time.
However, nothing needs the usb drivers until after the time that the
local filesystems are mounted, then mount complains rightly about
unknown filesystem usbdevfs. In my case, the only usb device I have is
a MS Intellimouse Explorer, so the usb stuff does not get loaded, if I
build it as a modules, until gpm is run.
The only 2 solutions to this minor annoyance that I can get to work so far
is to either insert a modprobe usb-uhci before the mounting of the local
filesystems, or building usbcore and usb-uhci into the kernel directly, rather
than as modules. Is there something that can be inserted in /etc/modules.conf
to get the usb-uhci to load when mount goes to try and mount usbdevfs?
