Erm, hotplug? OK, so much for being a relatively with-it Linux guy... I've got kmod turned on to automatically load kernel modules. Is there something else I should have turned on? Hmmmm, I never saw any error messages about this in any logs, but now that I try it manually, it seems there's a problem loading usb-storage.o: devastator# modprobe usb-storage modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies! modprobe: Circular dependency? ide-iops ide-lib ide usbcore usb-storage Aborted devastator# modprobe ide-lib Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.21-1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-lib.o will taint the kernel: no license See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules Module ide-lib loaded, with warnings devastator# modprobe ide modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies! modprobe: Circular dependency? ide-iops ide-lib ide Aborted devastator# modprobe ide-iops modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies! modprobe: Circular dependency? ide ide-lib ide-iops Aborted Well that's rather annoying. Maybe both of these readers will be recognized after I figure out what's going on with these crazy ide modules. And for that matter, why ide-lib doesn't appear to have an open-source license in it. This should be a completely stock kernel, plus the CryptoAPI and OpenWall patches. I'm pretty sure there's been no other tweakage to it. Certainly nothing in the area of either USB or IDE. Ever seen anything like this before?
