« on: December 29, 2005, 01:28:13 pm »
Solved thanks to ThC and pgas on #cacko...

The trick was to su and do...

Code: [Select]
mount -o remount,rw /
followed by

Code: [Select]
ln -s /lib/modules.rom /lib/modules
and then reboot.

Playing some more with it... I thought since "modprobe usb" was returning 'modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep (No such file or directory)' that I would try 'touch /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep' only to find that I don't have a /lib/modules/ directory and can't create one since its on a read only filesystem.

Could this be related to the problem? Or am I not on the right track?

Did you reflash to Cacko Lite ?

No. This was a full Cacko 1.23. Thanks though.

Short version first, after a reflash of Cacko 1.23 my USB connectivity is missing in action.

Longer version: I've had my Zaurus c3100 for a couple months and after being sightly annoyed at the remnants of the Japanese stuff I couldn't read I decided to move to an english OS and flashed to Cacko 1.23. I was VERY happy with it.

Via the USB cable I had communication between the laptop and the Z. (SSH, VNC and Samba to the Z and Ping both ways). My only problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get Internet access through my XP laptop for the Z. Whatever I did to try various configurations between the two devices I got to the point where I had no IP communication between the Z and the Laptop BUT I still could use the Z as a USB Mass Storage device. So I decided that since it was a brand new install I would just wipe it back to zero.

I reflashed with Cacko 1.23 and now I have ZERO usb connectivity with the Laptop (or another desktop) either with USB tcp/ip or as a USB Mass Storage device. Nothing happens on either end. The Laptop (or the other desktop) doesn't even acknowledge there's a device there. When the Z boots I can almost catch something that says (I think) something about cardmgr and usb but there is nothing in dmesg about USB. There ARE some repeated jffs2_scan_eraseblock():Magic bitmask XXX not found at XXX: XXX instead lines... and something about cramfs wrong magic but nothing else that looks like an error or warning.

Searching on this forum I tried the following:
   lsusb gives an error that /proc/bus/usb does not exist.
   lsmod shows nothing loaded.
   modprobe usb returns 'Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep (No such file or directory)'
   The USB cable was tested with another device.

Of course my Compact Flash adaptor is broken, and I hadn't ordered a network card yet so I'm stuck right now with the tools on the Z itself. Any ideas?
