USB HID on Fedora Core 1 no longer works with custom kernel
|
|
|
|
I am running the stock 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl i686 kernel, but the NTFS
modules was not built. So what I did was:
*) cd /usr/src/linux
*) make mrpoper
*) make menuconfig
*) Changed processor type to Pentium IV
*) Then selected NTFS module
*) Then de-selected other modules that I dont need ( e.g.: wireless,
radio, ISDN, etc ... )
*) make bzImage
*) copied arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom
*) make modules
*) make modules_install, which created the directory
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom
*) copied System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom
mkinitrd --with=ext3 /boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom.img
2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom
*) Created a new entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot off my new
compiled kernel
.... then rebooted.
However, the Microsoft optical USB wheel mouse no longer works ( not
even on the non-X console ).
Just to make sure I have the necessary modules installed, I compared
/usr/src/linux/.config with /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl:
$ grep HID /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl
# USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=m
$ grep HID /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=m
$ grep MOUSE /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_LOGIBUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
CONFIG_MK712_MOUSE=m
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
CONFIG_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_82C710_MOUSE=m
$ grep MOUSE /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_LOGIBUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE=m
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
CONFIG_82C710_MOUSE=m
CONFIG_MK712_MOUSE=m
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
I could not find anything different that would affact the USB mouse.
What I did notice different were the following:
1) /sbin/lsmod on the stock 2199.nptl kernel shows:
hid 23908 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 21544 0 (unused)
usbcore 78752 1 [hid usb-ohci]
mousedev 5268 1 (autoclean)
input 5888 0 (autoclean) [keybdev hid mousedev]
/sbin/lsmod on the custom 2199.nptl kernel shows:
hid 23908 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 21544 0 (unused)
usbcore 78752 1 [hid usb-ohci]
mousedev 5268 1 (autoclean)
input 5888 0 (autoclean) [keybdev mousedev]
* This is not the exact output, copied and pasted from the above to
here, the different being the sizes of the modules.
( Note that input is not referred to by the hid module )
2) dmesg on the stock 2199.nptl kernel shows:
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.3-1, assigned address 2
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?] on
usb2:2.0
dmesg on the custom 2199.nptl kernel shows:
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.3-1, assigned address 2
: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?] on usb2:2.0
( Note that missing "input" before the colon ( )
3) /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl/modules.dep shows:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl/kernel/drivers/usb/hid.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o \
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptl/kernel/drivers/input/input.o
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/modules.dep shows:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/kernel/drivers/usb/hid.o:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2199.nptlcustom/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o
So what am I missing ?
The necessary modules are certainly loaded, but somehow, it seems that
the hid.o module compiled from the kernel source does not access / refer
to the input.o module, as if CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT is not selected at
all!, even though it is.
I even tried a silly thing as manually adding the input.o module as
being one of the modules that hid.o depends on. Of course, that does not
work.
Any help appreciated.

Forgot to add that I did do a make dep; make clean prior to make bzImage
and make modules

Copy the working /boot/config-2.4.22-1.2199 to .config here or use the
command 'make oldconfig' here

make dep
make clean

make install
You might want to have a look here;
