usb pendrive not detectedForum: DSL-N Topic: usb pendrive not detected started by: starslight Posted by starslight on Aug. 01 2007,14:00
Hello, I am having trouble getting DSL-N to pick-up my usb key. The usb port is detected properly on start-up and will work fine with a usb mouse or keyboard. The usb key (which was formatted in fat fs) however does not show up in the mount tool or with fdisk. I tried editing fstab but I still cannot get it to work. Suggestions?-thanks! Ps - I am using the current release Posted by lucky13 on Aug. 01 2007,14:07
Which version are you running? Did you search like I suggested?Change log for dsl-n-0.1RC4 5. Fixed USB2 not loading bug < http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/f/viewtopic/342.html > Posted by starslight on Aug. 01 2007,14:31
I am runing RC4 and it is a usb 2.0. I've searched the forums for answer but have found no working solution (this is what led me to edit the fstab).

1. lsusb - Lists all USB devices.Check that your pendrive is detected. 2. If not, I would check to see the USB 2.0 host module is loaded: lsmod Scroll up and down (Shift+PgUp/PgDn) and see if either "usb-ehci" or "usb-ohci" is loaded. If not, try modprobe: modprobe usb-ehci - For motherboard with Intel chipset modprobe usb-ohci - For other brands (nVidia, SiS, VIA, etc) Also make sure that "usb-storage" is loaded. If not, then: modprobe usb-storage 3. Try all possible device names: mount -t vfat /dev/sdXX mountpoint sda, sdb, sdc, sdd... sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1... Posted by starslight on Aug. 02 2007,00:28
Thanks for your help! I used lsusb and it was able to detect my usb key. I then ran lsmod and everything thing is loaded.. And finally I am still not able to mount using any of the common names. Where do I go from here? thanks again Posted by Juanito on Aug. 02 2007,03:34
I dimly remember seeing something in the old dsl-n forums about USB devices sometimes (it doesn't happen to me) being seen as uda1, uda2 or something like that (have a look in /dev/u*).

Thanks for your reply! Yes I've read this as well but I can't find it under these names either.

uba*

Try "fdisk -l uba" if it lists the partitions, it's uba1

Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestion but it didn't show any results.
