Re: No usb-storage in Kernel 2.4.25

I don't know if this helps, but I editted the end of my devfsd.conf to look like this

# If you have removable media and want to force media revalidation when looking
# up new or old compatibility names, uncomment the following lines
#SCSI NEWCOMPAT  /dev/sd/* names
#LOOKUP         ^(sd/c[0-9]+b[0-9]+t[0-9]+u[0-9]+)p[0-9]+$      EXECUTE /bin/dd if=$mntpnt/1 of=/dev/null count=1
#SCSI OLDCOMPAT  /dev/sd?? names
LOOKUP          ^(sd[a-z]+)[0-9]+$      EXECUTE /bin/dd if=$mntpnt/1 of=/dev/null count=1
#IDE NEWCOMPAT   /dev/ide/hd/* names
#LOOKUP         ^(ide/hd/c[0-9]+b[0-9]+t[0-9]+u[0-9]+)p[0-9]+$  EXECUTE /bin/dd if=$mntpnt/1 of=/dev/null count=1
#IDE OLDCOMPAT   /dev/hd?? names
LOOKUP          ^(hd[a-z])[0-9]+$       EXECUTE /bin/dd if=$mntpnt/1 of=/dev/null count=1

My usb mp3 player works with this and so does my zip drive.  I made other changes to the file, but I don't think that matters too much.

   Changes to devfsd.conf did not correct the problem.

   Thanks

Re: No usb-storage in Kernel 2.4.25

 

    Final resolution to the problem:

    Decided to re-install arch and discovered a scratched CD caused the trouble.

   Re-installed with spare CD and now have sda1 mounting correctly.

    Thanks to all for the support...details in this series will probably help others with their difficulties, at least, I hope so!!!
