    Unhappy USB Flash/Hard Drives Not Detected In F7

    Hi, I've just installed F7 and like it a lot, however, I have all my data stored on my external USB hard-disc, but when I turn it on, nothing happens, I ran the following to see what devices I have:

    Code:
    [root@localhost ~]# ls -l /dev/sd*
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,   0 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sda
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,   1 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sda1
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,   2 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sda2
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,   3 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sda3
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  16 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sdb
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  17 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sdb1
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  32 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sdc
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  48 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sdd
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  64 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sde
    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8,  80 2007-06-01 13:57 /dev/sdf

    brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 112 2007-06-01 13:04 /dev/sdh
    You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
    None of I tried manually mounting all the numbered devices and none of them were the right one.
    Here is the mail I received:

    SOL == Sorry, you are Out of Luck

    You could fight with bugzilla to file a bug report that can be ignored

    But this particular problem has been with several kernel iterations, at least Test 3 and Test 4 (Looks as if certain FC6 upgrades resulted in similar problem http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...d.php?t=135961

    Have you noticed anything as the start-up messages stream past?

    I see something to the effect that modprobe usb-storage succeeded, but module does not exit

    I get something like this. The weird thing is, I found that if I plug a flash drive in, then boot up, it's recognised, mounted and works fine, but I cannot hotplug it, and my external HD does not work at all, I had to boot Knoppix and restore all my files from there.

    I have no problem with my USB External HDD, I can use it right after the firstboot.
    Btw, the filesystem of my External HDD is ntfs, does it make any different?
    PS: But I noticed that the USB External HDD get disconnected randomly, although it automatically get connected after a few seconds when I tried to access it. This also happened on Ubuntu 7.04 box. I think this bug is common to other distro as well.

    Hopefully the next Kernel update will sort it out. Mine uses FAT32.

    jcwinnie Guest
    FAT32 here, too

    modules.conf and modprobe.conf contain the statement:

    alias usb-controller ohci-hcd

    And, this, too, is quite curious:

    #ls /dev/usb*
    /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00 /dev/usbdev2.1_ep00 /dev/usbdev2.2_ep82
    /dev/usbdev1.1_ep81 /dev/usbdev2.1_ep81 /dev/usbdev2.2_ep83
    /dev/usbdev1.2_ep00 /dev/usbdev2.2_ep00
    /dev/usbdev1.2_ep81 /dev/usbdev2.2_ep01

    I wonder what happened too /dev/usb0 ?

    Also, there is no usb when I

    # /sbin/lsmod

    There are, however:

    ehci_hcd 35789 0
    ohci_hcd 24261 0
    uhci_hcd 27217 0

    Might as well confirm that there is a usb device connect, eh?

    #/sbin/lsusb
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0c0b:b001 Dura Micro, Inc. (Acomdata)
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

    I wouldn't hold my breath on the new kernel fixing the problem. The kernel gurus seem to be enamored of an approach that breaks a lot of what works.

    Omlets, donncha kno...

    On a partly cloudy, partly sunny side of the street, '/sbin/modprobe usb-storage' now allows me to access the USB drive... Of course, I have to do this each time I boot and want to access it.

    I was able to mount my USB drive. After connecting, I looked at /var/log/messages and
    saw that the device was recognized:
    Code:
    Jun  3 07:56:30 wetteserver kernel: usb 4-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

    Then I mounted:
    Code:
    # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/temp
    My USB has two partitions; the second is ext3. It mounted OK.

    I am running F7 i686.

    Hmm, I had a root shell open and turned my HD on and got the following message:

    Code:
    Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun  7 14:12:44 2007 ...
    localhost kernel: Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
    Message from syslogd@ at Thu Jun  7 14:12:45 2007 ...
    localhost kernel: CR2: 0000000000000000
    Does this mean anything to anyone?

    I tried running lsusb and the cursor goes to the next line, but nothing else happens.

    I had a similar problem - unable to mount usb drives. Installing the pmount package solved the problem

    I found this in a bugzilla report, it got my flash drives working, but not my external hard-disc:

    Code:
    echo "modprobe usb-storage" >> /etc/rc.local
    echo "modprobe -r usb-storage" >> /sbin/halt.local
    chmod 755 /sbin/halt.local

    I think this only fix the usb memory stick but not the wireless usb.

    It's not wireless.

    Well, the first kernel update has come out and now flash drives are working properly, but my external hard disc still does not show up I think I'll file a bugzilla report.
