You could force the rpm to install, but I prefer to have it in the kernel. I have modified my installation so I'm not quite sure how the stock one was if there is no options for usb in "make menuconfig" then look for a file called config.in located in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386 there you will find a line reference usb that is commented out with a "#", remove the number sign and the usb stuff will show up in the kernel config menu.
Now recompile and install the new kernel, you should see some messages reference usb while linux is booting, if it goes by too quick use the command "dmesg | less" to view it.
OK- after long delays I've (sorta) got it. The tape drive is recognized as a scsi device, but not labled a tape device:
usbscsi: Command wakeup usbscsi: pop_CB_reset usbscsi: pop_CB_reset: clearing endpoint halt usbscsi: pop_CB_reset done usbscsi: Command wakeup scsi: unknown type 31 Vendor: LϜ Model: Rev: Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi generic sge at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 2
and then the markedly similar but a little different:
usbscsi: pop_CB_reset usbscsi: pop_CB_reset: clearing endpoint halt usbscsi: pop_CB_reset done usbscsi: Command wakeup scsi: unknown type 31 Vendor: LϜ Model: Rev: Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi generic sgf at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 3
In fact the device is repeated through sgn... So how do I force it to be a tape drive? -mab

What version of SuSE?
Are you using a stock kernel or have you downloaded a new version?
If you are using 6.3 and have not installed a newer kernel, get the usb update on the suse www page, install it and then enable usb in rc.config.
I'm running 6.3 with a few things cut off and updated reiserfs installed. I configured for usb support and enabled in /etc/rc.config. I had run into errs which I will recreate if I need to. I was hoping to go from the module install level up troubleshooting, however.
Anyway as per your instructions I got the rpm and this happened:
heretic:/tmp # rpm -iv usb.rpm file /sbin/init.d/usb from install of usb-0.5-16 conflicts with file from package usb-0.5-1 heretic:/tmp #
What's up?
Thx for your help-

That should get you started,

OK since my last query concerning this got nowhere, I'll try again.
My overall goal is to get my usb tape drive working.
What steps should I take, however in getting usb support in general
up?
Could someone clue me in here, or point me to relavent docs? My machine has USB on the motherboard and usb ports coming out of the back so I'd assume that I'm not too far off base here.
So someone whose gotten usb in general to work (usb scsi even better) could you please drop me a note?
