6000 - Tosa / USB Hotplug Issues
« on: July 28, 2004, 05:47:21 pm »
I've been able to connect and mount almost all sorts of usb storage devices including cameras, hard drives, flash drives, etc with the exception of a simple cf cardreader. From examining dmesg output, the system does not quite make the jump from recognizing the device and loading usb-storage to where it is setup as a scsi device (sdaX).
From what I understand about hotplug, if you have a device that is not properly handled, you can update unusual_devs.h and then recompile the kernel.
This brings up another issue. Has anybody successfully compiled and install the kernel for the 6000 from source? I downloaded the kernel source from Sharp Spacetown but I've yet to make any attempts to work with it. I just noticed that Sharp USA has it also.
Anyway, I was just hoping to hear from anybody that has already struggled with some of these issues. Thanks!
