Date: Wed Apr 25 17:15:29 2012 -0700 USB: remove CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS
This option has been deprecated for many years now, and no userspace tools use it anymore, so it should be safe to finally remove it.
Well! zypper info usbview tells me
Information for package usbview: -------------------------------- Repository: openSUSE-12.3 OSS Name: usbview Version: 1.1-14.1.2 Arch: i586 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 580.2 KiB Summary: USB Topology and Device Viewer Description: USBView is a GTK program that displays the topography of the devices that are plugged into the USB on a Linux machine. It also displays information on each of the devices. This can be useful to determine if a device is working properly.
So why was that in the 12.3 distribution?
It uses the /sys device tree I guess.
As I mentioned, modprobe of usbcore and usb_storage don't seem to take. No errors, just that a subsequent lsmod shows they aren't there.
usbcore is built-in on 12.3. What is your exact command line for usb-storage?
# cd / # modprobe usb-storage # echo $? 0 # find /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/kernel/ -name '*usb-storage*' \ -print /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.16-desktop/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko # modprobe usb-common # echo $? 0 # lsmod | grep usb
The -desktop flavour has the built in and not as modules.
I *DO* have a line in the /etc/fstab for usbfs and /proc/bus/usb
Am I supposed to remove that? It came with the 12.3 install
