new way of mounting usb? [Solved]

wantamad · 2008-05-19 15:04:39

hey guys,

just got back into arch and finished compiling 2.6.24.7. couldnt get it to boot for days... and its all because i had ACPI enabled. didnt really make much sense to me.

going back, is there a "new way" of mounting usb devices? las time i checked it was mount -t vfat /dev/sdXY /mnt/usb and that was a year ago. i understand that sata is now taking over and /dev/sda is now the master harddisk; where does that leave usb devices? ive been searching the net and this forum and they usually say use "lsusb" to scan the your usbdevs but it really doesnt tell me what the device name of the usb device is (i.e. /dev/???)

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 041e:413e Creative Technology, Ltd   <---- the ZEN player i want to mount
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c041 Logitech, Inc.

/dev/sda4            6912        9729    22635585   83  Linux

in the dev folder i noticed this new dev names /dev/usbdev1.5_ep00. wth are they? trided mounting it but it just said this is not a block device.

can anyone please enlighten me on this? many thanks!

dmesg should show the device path.

Yes. strangely enough I do not see the description of your USB.
Try this:

su -c 'tail -f /var/log/messages.log'

then plug your USB in a slot. If it is properly detected you should see something like this:
May 19 13:07:44 renegade scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access Corsair Flash Voyager 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 4005888 512-byte hardware sectors (2051 MB)
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 4005888 512-byte hardware sectors (2051 MB)
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sdb: sdb1 <-- that is the correct ID of the device
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
May 19 13:07:44 renegade sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0

hope this helps.

Perhaps you don't have sd_mod or usb_storage module(s) loaded.

hey guys thanks for your reply.

May 19 13:58:11 box logger: cannot find module usb:v041Ep413Ed0100dcFFdsc00dp00ic00isc00ip00  (*** what modules is this? )

the very last line is complaining that it cant fine the module usb. what module is that? when i compiled my kernel, i tried building all the drivers in the kernel rather than loading modules. the only module i have right now is my nvidia.ko module.

<<test@box>> :lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nvidia               7808660  24

if i remember correctly sd_mod is the scsi device option in the kernel; i have enabled that. usb-storage is also built into the kernel. so yea, i have both the sd_mod and usb-storage built in my current kernel. is it better to make them modules?

lucke · 2008-05-19 19:04:30

It shouldn't make a difference whether it's a module or compiled in, however it is possible that you forgot to enable some option when compiling the kernel. I'd advise to try on a stock Arch's kernel26, if possible. Add "noacpi" to the kernel line if you have problems booting.

Are you sure that that usb device works okay?

wantamad · 2008-05-19 19:21:00

prior to receiving your post, i have compiled my kernel again, building sd_mod and usb-storage as modules. and yes it didnt make any difference. i shall try booting the stock arch kernel.

yes both the usb device and usb ports work fine.

wantamad · 2008-05-19 19:43:52

hi guys!

thanks for all your input! it works with the stock kernel! now i gotta figure out what option i missed... o boy lots of fun hehe. once again many thanks!

wantamad · 2008-05-19 19:49:19

lucke · 2008-05-19 20:13:30

Glad it works :-)
