Re: [gentoo-user] urgent: udev-upgrade inhibits firmware upload (speedtouch-usb)

I have upgraded from udev-087-r1 to udev-103 (and from baselayout-1.12.5 to 1.12.6) At rebooting (I have a speedtouch usb ADSL device) I get speedtch_find_firmware: no stage 1 firmware found (This is obviously a message from the speedtouch kernel module) Yes, speedtouch has to upload firmware to the device before I can use it. This has worked just fine before my upgrade to the new udev. And I've checked that the firmware is (still) in /lib/firmware. I've even reinstalled net-dialup/speedtouch-usb and net-dialup/ppp but nothing helps. I couldn't find anything in the Changelogs. I haven't changed my kernel (still 2.6.17-r8) I'm afraid I can't help with this problem, but it seems to me that udev is not as effective as coldplug was in bringing up devices at boot time. Not sure if this is something to do with launch timing of udev and the device driver(s) during boot, but my USB devices won't be picked up at boot since I updated to udev-103. No problem with detection of USB devices *after* the boot sequence has been completed. I am still looking for a solution to fix this . . . -- Regards, Mick pgpOLF3hlsJr7.pgp Description: PGP signature

On a Gentoo Forum I've just found this (which works for me) On a 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 linux, simply unmerge coldplug, hotplug, hotplug-base and udev (yes, udev!). Then remove the /etc/hotplug, /etc/hotplug.d and /etc/udev directories. This being done, emerge udev again. This way you'll get hotplug-base emerged too. Of course, check that you have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin and /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin. Udev attempts first /lib/firmware/speedtch-N.bin.V.RR where V.RR is the hardware version and release of the speedtouch modem. Mine is 4.00, so I have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin.4.00 and /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin.4.00. But this is not mandatory. And please use rc-update to remove any boot- and default-time startup of the coldplug and hotplug scripts (you may even remove /etc/init.d/coldplug and /etc/init.d/hotplug just in case: they are not removed by emerge --unmerge). -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
