Re: I can't mount my USB thumb drive or ipod -- no /dev/da*
try kldstat and see if da.ko is listed. if it isn't, try kldload da the problem is that while the machine see the usb device attached, it hasn't loaded the driver for the disk, hence the absense of anything in dmesg about da0... good luck. oh, the module might not be called da.ko exactly, but it will have a similar name. i'm not at my fbsd box now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm also curious why it's not just working automagically, like it seems to do for many people. Someone on ##freebsd suggested that i try rebooting with the ipod plugged in, so I tried that. Right after detecting my hard drive and my dvd burner, the system just hung for about a minute and a half until i unplugged the ipod. Then, it printed something about umass0 detatched (it went by really fast), and then it continued booting. I tried rebooting again, this time with my thumb drive, and it booted fine, but i still didn't have /dev/da* and dmesg still didn't have any more information than before. I tried it also with a full power-off between each part, but the only difference was that this time, the kernel panicked when i unplugged the ipod after a couple minutes of hanging... Anyway, maybe that will give someone an idea as to what could be causing this?

I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE with the GENERIC kernel. (from what i
can tell, it has all of the necessary pieces to allow usb drives).
When I plug my ipod into my computer, dmesg gets the following addition:
umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
However, that's all that appears there relative to it. From google, I
found that plugging in an ipod or a usb thumb drive should add a
/dev/da0 (or similar) entry to /dev, which you should mount. I still
don't have a /dev/da*, and I actually checked, and nothing is getting
added to /dev when I plug the ipod in.
Unfortunately a number of Apple iPod devices don't work with 6.0
release. FreeBSD sends a command to the device that causes the iPod
USB interface to get confused and it stops responding. This was
fixed in 6-stable, so you'll need to upgrade or patch the kernel
to get it to work.
You could also just manually remove the offending code. The change
you need to make is in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usb_subr.c. Find the
usbd_setup_pipe() function, and then put a '#if 0' and '#endif'
around the code for clearing stall conditions, i.e.:
#if 0
/* Clear any stall and make sure DATA0 toggle will be used next. */
if (UE_GET_ADDR(ep-edesc-bEndpointAddress) != USB_CONTROL_ENDPOINT) {
err = usbd_clear_endpoint_stall(p);
...
return (err);
}
}
#endif
Then recompile and install the kernel, reboot, and the iPod should work.

Will this help, even though I can't mount any usb thumb drives or
anything like that?

My box loads it, and I've no issues with my USB thumb drive, apart from my discovery that if you use usbd.conf to mount it automagically when it's inserted, you can't use usbd.conf to umount it when it's detached ... sort of a chicken/egg issue that makes perfect sense in my more lucid moments.
