While installing a braille terminal that utilizes brltty, I encountered the following error message: can't find module usb_scsi. Further search showed that this error message was generated by usbd. Although a fatal error, usbd start kept running, and had to be killed manually ( i.e. kill -9 pid ). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. usbd start yields the error 2. starting any application that utilizes the braille device yields the error 3. Actual Results: No access to braille terminal, thereby leaving the system inaccessible to the end-user Expected Results: terminal should have fired up; lsusb showed the braille terminal present among the usb devices. No other usb peripherals connected to the system. Hotplugging an USB mouse into any available connector generated a working mouse, so I must assume the USB(sub)system to be functional. N.B. usb_scsi was not found in the kernel 2.6.24-r8 source tree or in .config Where on earth does it reside?
Were you using a Gentoo boot image for this? Is this on an installed Gentoo system? Is this `usbd' script part of sys-apps/usbd? Could you please post your emerge --info, too?

Everything further was emerged straight from the net (without a hitch, I may add). the original usbd script was part of the sys-apps package. However, just to make sure, I re-emerged usbd. Problem remained the same. emerge --info yields: ( see attachment )
this is a dead project that nothing in the tree uses (i'm assuming that someone somewhere uses this, but i cant be sure ... seems pretty useless)
