Maybe it is usb services that needs a kick in its hindend?
I meant to mention that possibility. I don't know much about usb. I know
there's 2(?) drivers that need loading? Not sure, uhci_hcd
ehci_hcd?
It *used* to be, long ago and far away, that we could just rmmod stuff
and then start up a service needing the modules. I wouldn't know if
that's save in today's environ or not.
I looked into the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and did not see anything
there that looked connected...
Wouldn't be there. These are device drivers. *If* they're loadable
modules (I think they are), they can be inserted by the initrd process
or may be mandated in the /etc/modprobe.conf file.
If you do "lsmod" you'll see them *if* they are modules.
Yep, there they are.
There's also a
command that I like "modinfo". Gives basic info. There's some params,
IIRC. "Man modinfo" 'cause I'll be darned if I remember them! :-(
But nothing to restart. I can remove and install the modules with
modprobe, but not restart.
I suppose I can do the remove and install to act as a remove? And then
which one? Are they interdepent or what?
<snip>
Test on one of your non-critical machines? rmmod <the name of a module>
and it will either remove it or tell you something is using it, IIRC.
That might give you enough boost on the old learning curve to address
the current problem without resorting to Windows SOP.
