missing headers?
by Gregor Leipelt 10 Jun '02

Hi all, I fetched the sources from cvs, soft linked ...drivers/scsi and tried to compile, but usb.h includes some files (<linux/completion.h> and a couple more), which are missing. I'm using stock RH 7.1. Any help would be appreciated. Gregor

Dane-Elec Zmate CF working
by Darin Smith 08 Jun '02

As you may know, I was having trouble getting the device to mount, because I only found a SCSI generic device created under devfs. After scouring the source and a lot of Googling, I finally had the answer: I didn't have sd_mod loaded. Once I loaded sd_mod, then usb-storage, I got the proper devices created. I tried a mount -t msdos -o fat=12 /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash as suggested in the README, but got hosed data. Mounting as VFAT worked great. (mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash) I really appreciate the hard work Harrold and Thomas have put in. Thanks guys! --Darin

Success with usbat
by Chris Niekel 02 Jun '02

Hi, Finally I got some time to try the new driver. It worked quite easily. The only problem is when changing memory cards. I unmount the 8MB card, replace the card witha 64MB card, and then I can't mount the new card. If I unplug the reader and plug it in again, then it works. So the workaround is quite simple, but it would be nice it if was fixed.

success!

Hi, Yesterday, I downloaded the usbat-2 driver for my Dane-elec Flash card reader/writer from anonymous cvs. It worked first time. Class! And for those who want to know, the device was on /dev/sda1. I tried reading and writing files to it with no problems. The written files had no problem being read in Windows with the proprietary driver that came with the device. I'm using a RedHat 7.3, vanilla installation. The only niggle I would have is that linux seems to have problems at shutdown and it takes a long time for the system to come to a complete halt. I think it has problems sending the process the kill signal or something.? Does anyone know how I can install the module permanently, without having to do insmod -k ./usb-storage.o. Do I have to rebuild the kernel or can I just install the module? Thanks in advance, Karol Hennessy. P.S. I am willing to help on the project if I can. I can program in C but don't know much about linux kernel internals. I guess I could write some documentation, if that helps. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
