Hi,
I'm trying to get the USB ports on my Netfinity 4000R to work. I'm
having no luck and would very much appreciate any help. Pointers to
real documentation would be fantastic.
I'm running RedHat 7.1 with updates on two 500Mhz processors:
root# uname -a
Linux sense 2.4.3-12smp #1 SMP Fri Jun 8 14:38:50 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
I think I am supposed to see bus directories in /proc/bus/usb like
"00". I don't:
root# ls /proc/bus/usb -l
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 12 12:56 devices
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 12 12:56 drivers
Note that the "devices" file is empty as well.
root# cat /proc/bus/usb/*
usbdevfs
hub
cpia
Here's what I have done:
*) Added a line to /etc/fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
it appears to work:
root# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sdb2 on /export/share1 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdb3 on /export/share2 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /opt type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /usr/local type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /var type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
*) Added a line to /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-81-0 cpia_usb
There was more to it than this, I believe I had to run depmod as well
-- at any rate this also appears to work:
root# modprobe char-major-81-0
root# lsmod

*) I enabled the USB system in the BIOS, but disabled "Keyboard/Mouse ...",
and "Port xx & xx emulation". This BIOS is way outside my experience, and
I can't find any documentation. It is my chief suspect for the problem.
Thanks,
Blake Meike
