 My fstab has an entry like this

 none  /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs  defaults  0 0

 but each time I boot I get an error message,
 mount mount mount  /proc/bus/usb  does not exist

 Clearly, it is wrong because there is a /proc/bus/usb and it contains

 I should imagine the fstab entry needs adjusting, but to what ?
 Anyone got a clue ?

 What do the latest LM9.0 have for fstab entries ?

well, this is not my machine with the printer, i can check that later, but i 
have no entries at all mentioning USB in my fstab and i have a USB memory 
card that works great.  it is listed as a scsi.  

i will look at the machine with the printer and get back to you.

Shane I think you may have something, I hashed the fstab line out like this
#none  /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs  defaults  0 0  in fstab

but leftnone /proc proc defaults 0 0   alone, anyone know what this 
line does ?

I then rebooted to desktop.

John


Just as a matter of interest - are these problems occurring on usb devices
joined to the motherboard, to hubs, or both?

Anne
  

Well, I'm not entirely sure I understand the question.
I have 8 USB ports ,  a bank of the usual 2 and a bank of 6,
2 are physically attatched to the mobo, ported to the rear,
6 are on a rack and cable plugged to the mobo, ported to
the rear.

As far as the usb hub is concerned they show up as 4 entries
in the kde -info-USB devices, like so,
USB  OHCI Root Hub

   | Lexmark Z53 printer

USB  OHCI Root Hub
USB  OHCI Root Hub
USB  OHCI Root Hub

every now and again the printer drops out of recognition
and so I reboot which brings it back again,

sometimes ,
modprobe usb-ohci  in a root terminal works,
sometimes it does not.
This happens in M8.2 , and was the norm from first boot on M9.0 beta2
I never got any futher than that as far as the later betas are concerned.

Basically USB detection of my usb printer is erratic.

I suppose I should mention that the 8 usb ports on my msi mobo
are both usb1 and usb2 , at least 4 of them can be usb2, I don't
believe mandrake configures any of them usb2 though.



Just trying to make sense of a situation where some people have big problems 
and others say everything's fine.  Two things spring to mind, that may give 
us some pointers.

First - the issue of ohci and uhci - it would be interesting to know, of the 
people who are having problems, which protocol they are using.

Second - I know that under windows some devices work find on the usb ports 
carried from the motherboard to the backplate, but don't work reliably on a 
hub hung from one of those ports.  I wondered if anything similar is showing 
up.

No answers, but a few questions.

Anne


  

Well, yes, and as you can see mine are all ohci  (incidentally what is 
the difference between
ohci and uhci  anyway ?) and as far as I am aware uhci never appears 
anywhere in my mandrake
OS,  but maybe others find this different.

No wait a minute I've just checked up on kde-info-USB devices, and again my
usb Z53 printer has vanished BUT , to prove me wrong the setup has changed,

USB OHCI Root Hub (1)
USB OHCI Root Hub (2)

and,


USB UHCI Root Hub (3)
USB UHCI Root Hub (4)
USB UHCI Root Hub (5)

So there is a clue, there's a battle going on for recognition between 
ohci and uhci
and something triggers a change , now lets see what  modprobe usb-ohci does,


[root@localhost root]# modprobe usb-ohci -v
[root@localhost root]#

so that does nothing this time,  so lets try modprobe usb-uhci,

[root@localhost root]# modprobe usb-uhci -v
[root@localhost root]#

so that did nothing again,

I guess this means a reboot ,

Marcia,

You need a stanza for win$ in your /etc/lilo.conf

Here's an excerpt from mine:

other=/dev/hda1
label=windoze
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux

After adding that, type the command lilo (as root without the quotes).
Done!  You'll need to edit lilo.conf as root too, or it won't let you
save the new version.

Dear Linus,

I am very happy for you that the reinstalling helped you, however it did 
not make a difference for me. I decided that the only way for me to get 
printing now was to hook up my printer as a parallel and that worked. My 
Hp 940c as parallel does work fine.  My scanner only works with LM if it 
is hooked up as usb and so it will not work now.  I decided to reinstall 
with the usb mouse instead of the ps/2 mouse and Mandrake 9 could not 
detect it so there is definitely a usb problem with 9 and my system. 8.2 
did excellently with usb. I may go back to 8.2 or try another distro. 
Yes, for a small moment during an emotional relapse I considered Windows 
XP of all things but quickly came back to my senses.

By the way, during reinstall of LM9 I accidently lost my choice of win95 
which I had already installed. I forgot how to get it back without 
erasing LM. What did one do again to get lilo to boot windows again?

Thanks for the help.

I hope some work arounds or fixes are presented soon for this usb 
problem because I really do want to stay with Linux.

Thanks,

Marcia

Dear Shane,

Thank you for this link. I think it is related to this usb  problem. 
When I get time I will study this. I hope we get this USB thing resolved 
soon. I am glad that your printer is working at least.

Sincerely,

Marcia

Marcia,
My syslog didn't have any of the errors that you reported.  USB appeared to 
load up just fine.  I can see the printer with PrinterDrake as well as 
USBView.  Everything comes through except printouts.  Apparently a whole host 
of problems result in similar behavior.  I'll keep working on this.  If you 
make any headway, please post. Thanks.

Dear Linus,

I tried printerdrake again and this time did the autodetect and got these 
messages:

 printerdrake

For the most part the same messages you are getting. Hopefully someone will be 
able to help us with this.

Thanks.

 If so, I think that we have a generic problem with Mandrake 9.0.  Weird

 Hi Linus,
 
 I have the same problem.  The instal  actually
 detected my printer and printed a test page, but
 haven't worked since.
 
 I tried deleting the printer, but then I couldn't get
 printerdrake to work.
 
 Any help I can get on how to properly add and
 configure my printer is appreciated.
 
 I have an Epson Stylus Color 740 connected to the USB
 port.

 Hi all,
   I have an Espon Stylus 777 that was working fine
 until a couple of days ago.
 I recently installed Mandrake 9.0.  I think that the
 printer worked under
 9.0, but I'm not sure  It worked great under 8.2
 and it still works fine
 with Windows (as much as I hate to admit it).
 
   Anyway, I'm getting the following message in CUPS
 administration
 
 Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
 USB port busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
 Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
 
 Printerdrake cannot see the printer at all.  KDE
 Control panel printer
 configuration utility can see the printer, but still
 can't print.  I get the
 same error.
 
 I tried PrinterDrake from command line.  It gave me
 the error...
 
 
 [root@localhost linus]# printerdrake
 cupsd (pid 1496) is running...

 ...could not find printer.
 
 the module parport is loaded, but why does that
 matter as I'm using a USB
 printer.
 
 Any help, insights, or just plain sympathy is
 welcomed.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Linus

 I just installed LM 9 and my HP 940c usb printer will not work at all.
  It will not print a test page and cannot be configured with the webmin
 tool. It worked fine in 8.2. Any suggestions?  Thanks for help in advance.

 Sincerely,

 Marcia
