i did unmerge module-init-tools and remerge modutils as someone suggested, but it did not fix the problem. CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y Try to enable it or CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD CONFIG_USB_OHCI In the kernel support for usb is already compiled in and used to work (uhci) - somehow it broke after installing development-sources and module-init-tools. dmesg shows usblp and usbscanner, but these are 2.5.x drivers and running kernel is a stable one (2.4.20-r6). as stated before, removing module-init-tools did not help :( A) Please try the latest baselayout [1.8.6.9] B) Try a vanilla kernel C) Remerge any kernel sources and run "make mrproper" in your kernel tree [ You'll need to reconfigure your kernel though ] A. i've tried baselayout 1.8.6.9 and (masked) 1.8.6.10, no results B/C. neither vanilla sources nor make mrproper helps - i still get messages about development series kernel drivers being installed (usblp and usbscanner), though i've unmerged development sources along with module-init-tools. what's more interesting, devices seems to be recognized by the kernel properly: $ /usr/sbin/lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:9254 Alcor Micro Corp. Hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 07b3:0413 Plustek, Inc. $ uname -a Linux tool 2.4.22 #1 czw wrz 4 22:48:32 CEST 2003 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux yet still: $ cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers usbdevfs hub 0- 15: usblp 48- 63: usbscanner more info in this: i have just installed fresh new gentoo and it's acting the same way - there are no usb devices in /dev. also looks like usblp and usbscanner are valid drivers for 2.4 kernel. i used latest stable gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r7 and dmesg gives the same output as above. i've also tried compiling printer and scanner support into the kernel and in the modules - both failed. i was wondering if it could be some interrupr conflict, as two usb devices are pluuged-in? i'll keep digging :) ok, you may close this one. most probably this is not gentoo specific bug, but as suspected - interrupt conflict. i'll do some more testing and send a report to kernel people. need upstream fix |
