Connect C3000 (cacko Beta1) With Pc (linux 2.6.11)
« on: May 31, 2005, 05:21:09 am »
Hi All,

Even if I might raise this a second time - I though I wanted to start a separate thread.

I am using a C3000 running Cacko beta rom. My Desktop PC and my VDR server both run Gentoo Linux 2.6.11 while the kernel set there includes usbnet and the Sharp zaurus as modules, as matter of fact I even tried a genkernel generated config where simply everything is included as a module.

Whenever I attach the Zaurus in HDD mass storage mode to the PC, the USB monitor detects the device and also the /hdd3/ partition. But as soon as the USB driver on the PC wants to link the drive to the partition table (using SCSI emulation from kernel) the zaurus comes up with "USB Alert message".

If I try to connect the zaurus for syncing only (via usbnet), the PC detects a usbnet device but breaks the connection with "MLD error".

This happens with kernel that comes with the ROM aswell as tetsu v17, v18a for C3000 - I did not yet try the sharp kernel, which I will probably do later today.

Also, if I do the same under Windows - the effect is also there, at least for the Mass Storage mode.

I wanted to ask 2 things:

a) anyone running cacko for C3000 and is able to sync with Linux? if yes, I would like to see the kernel config of the Desktop linux system if possible
B) How can I activate USB debugging logs - or at least the USB-driver kernel messages - to go into syslog or /var/log/messages ?!

Any help is deeply appreciated - kind regards,
J*

When the "Alert USB" message appears (if the Zaurus is set to "PC Link") unplug the USB cable, click 'OK', and plug the cable back in.  The Z should then mount as an external drive.  Usually on /dev/sda.

Some distros, particularly Fedora and Ubuntu, will automount it multiple times to multiple mount points if you have it set to SD Card rather than Internal Disk.

Wiredog - you made my day !

Thanks a lot, it works. What I do not get is why the system gets detected under several devices, but atleast I can now access my drive through USB cable - and pump all the movies directly over there instead of using WiFi/WLAN.

Cheers,
