Mount usb mp3 player

Having some probs mount my mp3 player.
Dmesg gives this:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -71

lsmod gives this:

Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -71

Ouch, errors suck. Try a different USB port, I had similar problems with my iPod on my old computer, a different USB port fixed it.

Linux is still very hit-or-miss here. I get very similar errors for my soundcards to this day (In it's defense, it's always with Skype, which we all know is very poor with it's linux support)! If trying a different port doesn't work.. Could you provide the output of lspci and lsmod so we can help you figure out the problem? I'm suspecting that you don't have the right USB driver loaded.

I'll take a look at it when I get home. It's a fairly old laptop and it may only have one usb port. I'll also try a different usb cable. I'll let you guys know.

My gf's laptop had a similar problem, before the usb connector simply stopped working.

Might be something else for your part, though.

Only one usb port. Different cord, same prob. I'm guessing the usb port has issues. I'll try another usb device and see what happens.

what is in your fstab file?

That doesn't matter if the kernel reports device problems

I didn't think so either but here it is anyway:

Just an update. USB, definitely works. I just mounted a card reader. Would an unsupported device give the error -71? Or would it at least recognize it?

This may not help much, but I did a google on this and found a mailing list entry suggesting this could be a bug in the SCSI layer which is caused when a device takes too many probes to respond.

https://lists.one-eyed-alien.net/piperm … 01350.html

It's based on a much older kernel, but I guess it might still be hanging around.

I don't really know much (if anything ) about these errors, but doing a google hunt using your device name and the error might give a more definite insight.
