Hotplug will do this if you have it installed correctly. It uses
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap to determine which modules to load.
Yes, that is the file I presume I need to put a new entry into so that when I plug this device in, the system knows to load the usb-storage module.
I've no idea what an 8.2Pro is. Can you try reading the documentation at
linux-hotplug.sf.net?
Yes, and the info at linux-usb, but I'm not finding any references to creating entries in that file.
I can look at /usr/share/usb.ids to see what is there and find the proper match_flags to use and then plug in the device and see what /var/log/messages gives me as identifiers for the drive/enclosure, but I don't know for sure if the modules.usbmap might be generated by the kernel build and maybe I should make the entries elsewhere.
Since the device does work once the usb-storage module is loaded, I just need to know the correct process for having this "unknown" device become "known"...

I just got an NEC 1300A CD-RW/DV�RW drive in a USB enclosure.
When I plug the device into a USB port and power it up, the system says:
Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.3-2.1, assigned address 3 Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x402/0x5621) is not claimed by any active driver. Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 278 Oct 30 14:00:26 brutus kernel: hub.c: usb_hub_port_status (2) failed (err = -84)
So it doesn't know what driver to load. If I manually do modprobe usb-storage
the drive is recognized and mounted right away. But shouldn't the system (8.2Pro kernel 2.4.20) automatically know that it's a storage device?
I figure there needs to be an entry in usb.distmap in /etc/hotplug, but
I
can't find any info about how to construct an entry for a device that's
not
already present in the file.
Where can I find that info?
Thanks!
