:? I'm just about finished installing ARCH and I have a curious
little problem. At boot I was getting this message after the
mounting file systems section:
" mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist ".
I didn't pay much attention, but when running hwd -s it
reported I had a usb module available - usb-uhci. Not
knowing any better I put it in the module section of rc.conf.
Now I'm also getting:
"Fatal: module usb-uhci not found"
after the modules loaded section at boot up. The system
works ok, sort-of. Anybody know how to fix the usb problem?
I did have a usb mouse, but I had to connect to a ps2 port to get
it to work. Oh well, I still love linux anyway. -Thanks - Larry

to have the mount point working edit you fstab, and where it says usbdevfs change it to usbfs (two instances in the same line)
about usb_uhci, i dont know if it is called exactly this way, but it is needed for mouses and keybouards.
What I do is to use hotplug so I forget mainly all modules

I personally use such line in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat defaults,user,noauto,sync,dirsync
0 0
and then mount /mnt/usb.
That passes without any troubles.

this line os for mounting and external drive conected by usb:
I'm talking about this line:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0

Thanks Pajaro, I changed the usbdefvs to usbfs and the error messages are gone. My mouse still won't work in the usb port, but that might be a set up problem. Again --Thanks for the assistance!!

Plug it in and check the output of dmesg. If it's recognized, it's probably a typo in your X.org config file (I assume it doesn't work in X).
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a workstation.

If you're not running hotplug, try modprobing the 'usbhid' module (besides [uoe]hci_hcd). My usb mouse doesn't want to work without that, at least.
This fatal error occurs probably because you have wrong entry in rc.conf. AFAIK, it should be uhci_hcd (or ehci or ohci), not usb-uhci. First letter depends on the controller (AFAIR, o/u is for USB 1.1 and e for USB 2.0). You could try to check which one you should use by running hwd -s (outputs wrong one in my case) or by genuine modprobing and rmmoding all of them in given order and checking whether your mouse works (remember about modprobing 'usbhid' afterwards).
