I upgraded to kernel 2.6 recently, and certain USB devices don't work anymore. I followed the directions at the following well-known links: http://www.fearthecow.net/index.pl?section=guest&page=kernel http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html I just moved up to 2.6.2 and module-init-tools-3.0-pre9, and I'm having the same problems. I have CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y in my kernel config, and changed /proc/ksysms to /proc/kallsyms in /etc/rc.sysinit per the instructions. While my USB mouse and keyboard are great, I get the following when I plug in my Archos Jukebox Recorder: Feb 14 16:47:52 cantara kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: new USB device on port 5, assigned address 5 Feb 14 16:47:53 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: Product: ARCHOS USB2.0 (P4a) Feb 14 16:47:53 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: Manufacturer: ARCHOS Feb 14 16:47:53 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: SerialNumber: wwww.archos.comA Feb 14 16:47:53 cantara /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Bad USB agent invocation Feb 14 16:47:56 cantara /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 5ab/60/1101 Trying "mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/usb" gives me "mount: /dev/sda5 is not a valid block device". When I unplug it, I get: Feb 14 16:48:46 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 5 Feb 14 16:48:46 cantara kernel: updfstab: numerical sysctl 1 23 is obsolete.

Similarly for my new iPod 40 Gig, connected via the FireWire to USB cable, I get: Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned address 2 Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: [f7662240] link (376621e2) element (37660040) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: 0: [f7660040] link (37660080) e0 Stalled CRC/Timeo Length=7 MaxLen=7 DT0 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=2d(SETUP) (buf=34403520) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: 1: [f7660080] link (00000001) e3 IOC Active Length=0 MaxLen=7ff DT1 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=69(IN) (buf=00000000) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: [f7662240] link (376621e2) element (37660040) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: 0: [f7660040] link (37660080) e0 Stalled CRC/Timeo Length=7 MaxLen=7 DT0 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=2d(SETUP) (buf=34403520) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: 1: [f7660080] link (00000001) e3 IOC Active Length=0 MaxLen=7ff DT1 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=69(IN) (buf=00000000) Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: Feb 14 16:55:33 cantara kernel: usb 4-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110 Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned address 3 Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: [f7662240] link (376621e2) element (37660040) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: 0: [f7660040] link (37660080) e0 Stalled CRC/Timeo Length=7 MaxLen=7 DT0 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=2d(SETUP) (buf=34403520) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: 1: [f7660080] link (00000001) e3 IOC Active Length=0 MaxLen=7ff DT1 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=69(IN) (buf=00000000) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: [f7662240] link (376621e2) element (37660040) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: 0: [f7660040] link (37660080) e0 Stalled CRC/Timeo Length=7 MaxLen=7 DT0 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=2d(SETUP) (buf=34403520) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: 1: [f7660080] link (00000001) e3 IOC Active Length=0 MaxLen=7ff DT1 EndPt=0 Dev=0, PID=69(IN) (buf=00000000) Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: Feb 14 16:55:34 cantara kernel: usb 4-1: device not accepting address 3, error -110 Feb 14 16:55:37 cantara kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: new USB device on port 5, assigned address 6 Feb 14 16:55:37 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: Product: iPod USB Interface Feb 14 16:55:37 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Apple Feb 14 16:55:37 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 00000052EE7C Feb 14 16:55:37 cantara /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Bad USB agent invocation Feb 14 16:55:40 cantara /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 5ac/1201/0 And on disconnect, I get: Feb 14 16:56:27 cantara kernel: usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 6 Feb 14 16:56:27 cantara kernel: updfstab: numerical sysctl 1 23 is obsolete.
