What IRQ is the controller on ?
What chip is it ( stop and think about it for a
moment) your better building usb as modules.
you can then load the different drivers in on by
one until usb kicks in.
there are 2 driver for Uhci chips.
only one will work.
which one is a matter of trial and
error.
I got the Khub stuff even when my note book didn't
work.
lets get to the interrupt bit.
check to see if IRQ for the usb controller is in
either 10 or 11. if it's not you have problems!
does any other usb device work like mice and
keyboards ?
what happens when you plug them in ?
does unable to assign id ? [err-3]
appear ? if so IRQ prob above or device is
buggy.
any this should help. slow down wipe the slate and
take a stupid approach .

Hello,
before Christmas I mentioned that I was getting a digital camera. Now
I
have the Jenoptik JD800i which connects via USB. Obviously I want to get
the pictures from it to my computer. Using the supplied Windows software
is
not an option since I dont have Windows. I'm not entirely sure what to
do. I
have downloaded gphoto2 but it doesn't support my camera. And to be
honest,
Im not even sure I've got USB working properly.
I turn on
the computer and plug in the Camera and turn it on. I have
installed the
hotplug software and it seems to be going but after turning on
the Camera
/proc/bus/usb/ remains empty. What I want to do is find out that
my Camera
is definately not a Mass Storage Device before I go out and buy a
Flash
Reader. I also want to know that my USB is working.
I suppose the fact
that /proc/bus/usb exsists is good. I realise I have to
have certain
things configured in the kernal. My latest compile has the
options
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG=y
with
linux 2.4.17. I dont know how stable this kernel is but I needed to get
hold of the sources and just got the latest ones.
Anyway a
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/hotplug status"
gives me;

I dont really know what else to do.
But there is one thing. The installation
instructions for hotplug
state
# cd
/etc/rc.d/init.d
#
chkconfig --add hotplug
And I have no program chkconfig, I just
supposed that the purpose of this
was to get hotplug started at boot
up, the README says chkconfig is a RedHat
thing. Was this supposition
wrong, does chkconfig do something else,
something vital
even?
As ever, any comments are
appreciaited.
