Hi all, I have two identical hardware systems. Identical SUSE 10.1 Novell purchased versions. On the one USB Card Reader hama USB 2.0 35 in 1 works perfectly. This is in the /var/log/messages: usb 2-3 new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15 usb 2-3 new device found, idVendor=0dda, idProduct=2005 usb 2-3 new device strings Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 2-3 Product Hama Card Reader usb 2-3 Manufacturer Hama Card Reader usb 2-3 SerialNumber ABCD12345683 usb 2-3 configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi18 SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage device found at 15 usb-storage waiting for device to settle before scanning On the other identical system, it is not recognised. In /var/log/boot.msg I get following: <6>ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: OHCI Host Controller <6>ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 <6>ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: irq 217, io mem 0xf3004000 <6>usb 1-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 <6>usb usb2: new device found, idVendor=0000, idProduct=0000 <6>usb usb2: new device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 <6>usb usb2: Product: OHCI Host Controller <6>usb usb2: Manufacturer: Linux 2.6.16.21-0.13-smp ohci_hcd <6>usb usb2: SerialNumber: 0000:00:02.0 <6>usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice <6>hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found <6>hub 2-0:1.0: 10 ports detected <4>ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APCH] enabled at IRQ 22 <6>ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> Link [APCH] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 225 <7>PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0a.0 to 64 <6>eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01458:e000 bound to 0000:00:0a.0 <6>device-mapper: 4.5.0-ioctl (2005-10-04) initialised: <7>dm-netlink version 0.0.2 loaded <3>usb 1-10: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start <3>usb 1-10: can't read configurations, error -110 <6>usb 1-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 <3>usb 1-10: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start <3>usb 1-10: can't read configurations, error -110 <6>usb 1-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 <3>usb 1-10: device descriptor read/all, error -110 <6>usb 1-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 <3>usb 1-10: device descriptor read/all, error -110 <6>usb 2-9: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 <6>usb 2-9: new device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c50e <6>usb 2-9: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 <6>usb 2-9: Product: USB RECEIVER <6>usb 2-9: Manufacturer: Logitech <6>usb 2-9: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice <6>usbcore: registered new driver hiddev <6>input: Logitech USB RECEIVER as /class/input/input3 <6>input: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB RECEIVER] on usb-0000:00:02.0-9 <6>usbcore: registered new driver usbhid <6>drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver <6>loop: loaded (max 8 devices) My Logitech mouse is recognised, but the card reader is not recognised.
