I have a bootup problem with a USB stick I have a USB stick which is permanently plugged in (for backup purposes). When the PC first boots the stick is never discovered, but if I wait a few minutes and reboot, it generally gets discovered and mounted with an icon on the desktop. I'm using Etch. I'd either like to find a fix for this so that the bootup process finds the stick on first boot, or failing that, to run some program to recognise the stick without having to reboot.
Russell ===================================================================== In the hope that this might help I've tried to pull out relevant lines from syslog (grepping "usb", "ehci", "uhci") which are as follows on first boot when the stick fails to be discovered: Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbfs Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hub Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v3.0 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb usb3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb usb4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: USB hub found Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb usb5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: USB hub found Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: UHCI Host Controller Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: irq 169, io base 0x0000ef00 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: UHCI Host Controller Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: irq 177, io base 0x0000ef20 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: UHCI Host Controller Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: irq 185, io base 0x0000ef40 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: UHCI Host Controller Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: irq 169, io base 0x0000ef80 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: EHCI Host Controller Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: debug port 1 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: irq 201, io mem 0xfebffc00 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 Nov 8 14:22:07 localhost kernel: usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
