Is it my problem or is it a generic problem: My install of Gentoo (2006.0 profile with latest versions of gentoo-kernel etc.) doesn't recognize events happening on USB bus. i.e.: in order to use my multicard reader it has to be plugged in upon boot - otherwise it's not recognized. Furthermore - if I unplug it and plug it back in - can't get to device at all.
I checked to have coldplug and hotplug to be activated/deactivated on boot etc. and all combination I've tried didn't help. I also tried to enable USB debugging checking if there is any data comming from USB and it seems like nothing is comming in. Same CardReader works fine with Offtopic OS just fine it seems. Actually same happened to my PDA (Sony Clie) - after I unplug cardreader - Gentoo wouldn't recognize my PDA being plugged in on same USB. At some point (I think it was before switching to 2.6 kernel) it all worked just fine. In case if this is of any relevance - my MB is Tyan Tiger MP 2460, my card reader is Lacie 6-in-1. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245
