Hi,
Is the GL811E supported by usb-storage? I'm using a 64bit AMD system
(MSI K8N) with ohci_hcd and ehci_hcd (ohci_hcd is tested, via a usblp
device; ehci_hcd is not yet tested since I don't have any other USB 2.0
device)
The chip says GL811E and 0506MK8JG-04. It is an IDE-USB2.0 interface
chip. However, when I switch the HDD enclosure on, the hdd spins up,
but no entries at all appear in messages, dmesg or syslog. I've read
that there may be issues with the chip not recognizing certain
harddisks. I've tried two harddisks, but none of them work. It might
be an issue with ehci_hcd on nforce4. However, I get no errors
during startup:
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: PCI device 10de:005b (nVidia Corporation)
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: irq 21, pci mem 0xfebfe000
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: park 0
ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: USB 2.0 initialized, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004
Should I try the newest EHCI driver? Or is it likely that the
enclosure is completely broken, since even with USB debugging
activated no messages appear when I plug it in or remove it.
In /proc/bus/usb, I also see no new device (bus 002 shows just the
hub; 001 shows the hub and the usblp device (USB 1.1))
I've read somewhere that the GL811E is supported, although there are
problems with file transfer. But mine is not even recognized by the
system, so perhaps it is a different problem.
If someone could point me in the right direction to investigate and
fix this problem, that would be nice. Is there a low-level interface
to USB, where I can check if there is any communication at all?
Best,
Alex
