hotplug, usb storage problem

[itzig]

Hello! I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.4.6 to 2.6.13, using the pre-compiled kernel from the slackware 10.2 cd's.
Everything went fine, except that my udev or hotplug is still not working. I have read every post for weeks now, and I am still not any smarter. I can't figure out why it doesn't work. Most instructions I find are "Gentoo" specific, I doubt I have to do things like "emerge baselayout" etc..?
I can see udevd running in the kde system guard, but when turning on a usb harddrive no "usb-storage" comes up in there.

The "/var/log/hotplug" directory is not present
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is also not present as well as
/sbin/hotplug

I am running:
hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-5
udev-064-i486-2

Please advise!
thank you!

Hi itzig,

It almost seems like the support was removed (to update with the newer kernel) but not re-installed.

Try these commands (as root) in a terminal and see if you have any USB support:

lsmod | more
lsusb
/sbin/lsusb -v | grep bcdUSB | awk '{print $2}'

[spencerf]

what does dmesg tell you when you plug in a USB device?

dmesg

[itzig]

Thanks, I tried
lsusb and
root@wildblue:~# /sbin/lsusb -v | grep bcdUSB | awk '{print $2}'
root@wildblue:~#

...which does nothing?

~$ lsmod | more

So I take it my usb support is not there, how can I get it back?

thanks!!
