Maxtor USB hard drive problems

miqorz · 2004-12-31 15:11:20

I cannot for the life of me configure my kernel to see my usb Maxtor hard drive correctly, I've booted into knoppix a few times to see if it works and yes it does. It registers as /dev/sda1 and I can run cfdisk on it no problem.

But on my box all dmesg says is..

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: Unlink after no-IRQ?  Different ACPI or APIC settings may help.
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0in
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0out
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0out
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0in
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0out
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0out
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 3, error -110
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: khubd timed out on ep0in

It's not the kernel version because I've downloaded 2.6.7 and installed it and it does the same thing.

I took a look at knoppix' lsmod and tried to emulate that as closely as I can on my box (allthough I build everything in.)

If anyone can help, I'd be forever greatful.

sudo pacman -S hwd

sudo hwd --help

good luck in Arch I don't have the disk I cannot help you. Also check if someone made it possible in LinuxQuestions.org

if it works in Knoppix it works on AL

The arch default 2.6 kernel w/ udev makes /dev/sda great.

It registers it in dmesg as..

ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)

And the lsmod says..

I can't figure out what's relevent to getting this working. :

if Knoppix supports it, Arch does it too. So boot Knoppix and compare the lsmods. Look for usb specific modules in the lsmod of Knoppix, but also look in http://www.linux-usb.org/ and in LinuxQuestion.org and in Google for specific help (module[s]) for your HD

miqorz · 2005-01-01 18:50:12

Heh, I've allready posted that the default arch kernel finds it fine and I've allready tried to mirror the modules listed in my kernel.

Linux-Usb.org seems to only list it needs usb-storage which I have built in but then again, that site is very 2.4 based.

zeppelin · 2005-01-03 11:02:44

so it works. ok

miqorz · 2005-01-03 14:42:23

Well yes, But I'd rather figure it WHY it works on the Arch kernel and not mine.

I hate using Arch's kernel.

Xentac · 2005-01-04 04:38:00

Diff your config file with the arch kernel config file. That's why.

miqorz · 2005-01-04 11:37:51

That would take forever to figure out due to the sheer ammount of stuff loaded as modules in arch's kernel.

Xentac · 2005-01-04 22:04:30

Hmmm... well, your only other options are to wait for someone else to tell you, guess randomly, or wait until the answer hits you like a bolt of lightning.

I figured mine was the more thorough.

miqorz · 2005-01-05 11:58:02

I've been tinkering for the past few days, I enabled almost everything in the usb section and it didn't work..

Google hasn't been my friend so far.

I had that driver loaded in my kernel.. very odd.
