# hub.c: Cannot enable port 1 of hub 1, disabling port.

hi,

I'm having problems recognising my usbkey drive on an embedded board with a customised 2.4.31 Kernel. The same pen works ok on my desktop running 2.621 fc6.

My cpu (mip32sel) has a usb host controller. When it boots up I get ..

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub

usb_hcd_arc_probe : ehci_hcd
USB Base Address: b1200100<6>usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus numbe1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 1 port detected
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage



When I plug in my pen I see ..

# hub.c: Cannot enable port 1 of hub 1, disabling port.
hub.c: Maybe the USB cable is bad?


Is it anything to do with the error 'kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 '.All my drivers are linked into kernel (no modules) so why is my modprobe being used at all ?

My .config bits are ..


CONFIG_ADM8668_USB=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y

CONFIG_SCSI=y


I see /proc/bus/usb (and it's empty)
I can go ..
mount -t usbfs /tmp/usbkey /proc/bus/usb

which appears to work, but no error is returned.


Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
John

I've remembered, that I turned off pci in the .config file, since the board I'm using doesn't have any pci based peripherals ( afai understood). I remember reading somewhere that the USB EHCI is connected to the pci bus.

It'll be a few days before I can try this.
