Author Unable to use my USB devices in Debian anymore...

Hello!

I had to reboot (no way out of it -- couldn't see anything on my screen even in text mode) my Debian box after 142
days of nonstop uptime (didn't break my 227 days record with Red Hat Linux 7.x -- quite impressive for a
workstation/desktop machine). Ever since I rebooted, I am having problems getting my Linux to read USB devices:
APC Back-UPS XS BX1500 for status readings and to record any power hiccups and outages (never configured it to
shut down or anything) and my USB memory/Flash drives/sticks from San Cruz and PNY (not HDDs). Basically,
something broke and I can't figure out why.

I noticed errors when trying to figure what was going on:

You can see my secondary machine specifications on http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfar...t/computers.txt
(secondary machine).


My computer should be OK since I was able to USB Flash sticks/drives with Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (have to
boot up the CD to see the devices). I couldn't get them to see them in KNOPPIX v4.0.2.

Does anyone know what is wrong? Did something change over the 142 days to break my USB setup? I do keep my Debian
updated daily with release and testing packages (not experimentals). Am I missing some packages that I need?

I hope I don't have to upgrade my Kernel 2.6.15 again because I am amost out of free disk space in / and qtparted
won't let me resize it:

1. For performance reasons, put your second drive on a different channel
to the primary drive.

2. Do you need to load some modules, "sg", "sd_mod" and "usb-storage" for
example?

I don't use disks that much to be concern about that. It just a basic workstation for surfing the Web, storing
backups from my Windows machines, downloads, etc. Basically, it is a backup machine.

I don't know. How can I determine that? I just use whatever defaults that apt-get gave me and not familiar enough
with modules. I don't have the time to make my own Kernel. Here's lsmod:

Try the command:

Do I run this after hooking up my USB devices or before? A bit newbie on this part.
Since I am at work right now, I can't hook up my devices right now (none of them are
connected). So for kicks, I ran the command via SSH (no errors or anything) and ran
dmesg:

Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.

This looks OK, right?

You should only need to run it once, after booting up into Linux. In fact,
if you put the appropriate lines in /etc/modprobe.conf or
/etc/modules.conf or whatever Debian uses, it should happen automatically.

Looks good. If it still does not work, you might want to take a look at
the contents of
/proc/bus/usb/drivers

I connected my cable to my APC UPS and typed "modprobe usb-storage":
usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110

# /etc/init.d/apcupsd restart
Restarting APC UPS power management: Stopping APC UPS power management: apcupsd.
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2400: No such process

# /etc/init.d/apcupsd status
FATAL ERROR in apcaccess.c at line 252
tcp_open: cannot connect to server localhost on port 3551.

Still doesn't work.


Tried my PNY USB Stick:
usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 6
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

It worked. Wow. I wonder what happened earlier? Shouldn't this be run by itself? I never
had to type that command before. Now, to figure out why my UPS doesn't work.

I don't see modprobe usb-storage in my /etc/modules.conf. Should I add it? I do see these USB-related
lines:
alias char-major-180 usbcore
alias usbdevfs usbcore
alias wlan0 prism2_usb

I don't have this directory. It must be something else.

ls /proc/bus/usb/ -all
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 May 21 20:45 .
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 May 21 20:45 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 21 20:45 001
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 21 20:45 002
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 21 20:45 003
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 21 20:45 004
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 21 20:45 005
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 22 21:16 devices


However, I did mention my USB Flash stick/memory stick works now. Now, need to get my APC UPS to work. So far no luck from APC mailing
list.

OK, I got it resolved with the help of apcupsd mailing list, but one remaining issue. See
http://tinyurl.com/ky6k7 or
http://groups.google.com/group/comp...298799b638e06cd
.... I don't know why I had to run modprobe usbhid to make it work. I never had to do that
before, but then I upgraded a lot during 142 days (I recall udev replaced hotplug or
something). Anyways, go to that thread and see the details and reply.
