This is with SuSE 9.3. Time ago, there was "rchotplug restart" that would force the usb bus to work again, but the script has disappeared. I tried reloading usb kernel modules, but it did not work; perhaps I did it wrong.
I'm using 9.3 and there's no rchotplug on my system. Okay... you mean that it was part of some Suse prior to 9.3...
Exactly. Perhaps it was with 9.1 or 8.2, I don't remember.
It seems the usb init script is now inside "/etc/init.d/kbd". I will try the method there next time it happens.
....
Looking at that script, there's comments which say:
# [bugzilla #46113] # we come here although heading for runlevel 5. # I'll comment out diabling hotplug for now. jw. # test -f /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug && echo /bin/true > \ /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug 2>/dev/null
(note wrap crap)
I just found this, so haven't had a hard look at this code or at bug #46113. Seems curious though.
Same as I thought. I suppose that the usb setup code has gone to the kbd init script because usb keyboards are now common; I remember seeing posts here of people having problems during start up which they could do nothing about because the keyboard was not functional yet. I wonder what "diabling" means :-? The webster seems to relate it to the devil, I hope they meant something else ;-) I think I'll create a usbreinit script from that; I suppose I'll have to remove modules in reverse order, perhaps with force. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD2OKItTMYHG2NR9URAhxbAJ4yjjkLxaUfaDeYcJX6R/EWf9Vp7gCfa/zK BuI4Bog2TbVNyYdNwsR2tic= =LVjq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
