Markku: I did as you suggested with dmesg | grep 'UPS" and am coming up with nothing. I even did the drastic (reboot), but still nothing. Am I searching for it incorrectly or is there another way to find this information? I did take a quick look through the entire messages file, and here is what I found that mentioned anything about USB: ------- Messages File Begins Here ------- Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: registered new driver hub Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: SiS router pirq escape (96) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: SiS router pirq escape (96) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe084a000, IRQ 5 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.0, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: SiS pirq: advanced IDE/ACPI/DAQ mapping not yet implemented Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: advanced SiS pirq mapping not yet implemented Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe084c000, IRQ 9 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.1, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#2) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 00:03.2 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe084e000, IRQ 9 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.2, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#3) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: SiS router pirq escape (99) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: SiS router pirq escape (99) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: ehci-hcd 00:03.3: PCI device 1039:7002 (Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]) Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: ehci-hcd 00:03.3: irq 9, pci mem e0856000 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 Jun 20 07:36:57 mars kernel: PCI: 00:03.3 PCI cache line size set incorrectly (32 bytes) by BIOS/FW.

Is it possible that line refers to my UPS, and the system doesn't understand it? Additional suggestions?

In /etc/sysconfig/ups set MODEL=hidups and DEVICE=/dev/usb/hiddev0 (or whatever is the correct HID device. In /etc/ups/ups.conf define the name for your ups and re-define the driver and port. In /etc/ups/upsd.users declare names, passwords and permissions. These are separate from normal Linux usernames/passwords. In /etc/ups/upsmon.conf define the UPS to be monitored, together with a username and password matching those defined in upsd.users -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
