Hi everyone, I was able to get USB working with openSUSE 10.2 - to be precise, someone else figured it out for VMWare and it applies for VirtualBox.
Many thanks to Alexey Eremenko for the hint on the kernel parameter which needed to be compiled. The basic upshot is there's a security hole by doing the following so only do this on a secured machine - see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210899 How to re-add USB support ========================= 1) Recompile and install the openSUSE 10.2 stock kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y 2) Comment out the old 'usbfs' entry in /etc/fstab and replace it with: /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 Done! Additional resources ==================== The following link provides the crux of the solution: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=27788 Cheers, -pablo _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
