Jan Engelhardt, it seems you are mistaken. Although /proc is destined to oblivion, usbdevfs has been replaced, probably around 2.6.12 (can't remember exactly), by usbfs, witch is what ?? Kanenas ?? is talking about. I haven't installed OpenSuSE 10.2 yet but, I can assure you that usbfs is present on Kernel 2.6.18 ( even on the new 2.6.19 ).
?? Kanenas ??, if you want to mount usbfs for VMWare, you could do one of the following: 1) Check your /etc/fstab file for a line similar to this one: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0 expect that yours should show a noauto instead of auto. Edit it and change it accordingly.
Found that, changed it to auto, thanks
Then issue the command 'mount /proc/bus/usb' On the next boot it should be mounted automatically.
2) check if /proc/bus/usb directory exists.
/proc/bus/usb does not exist, even after a reboot.
If not, create it. Issue the command: mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb voila...
This does not work. I get the error message that /proc/bus/usb does not exist. btw, when I test the mounted fs's with "mount" the following prints out: tentwoa:/home/xyz # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) /dev/sdb2 on /mnt/sdb2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda3 on /mnt/sda3 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/sdb3 type reiserfs (rw) /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/sdc1 type reiserfs (rw) /dev/hda3 on /mnt/hda3 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdd1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower) the usb devices usb1, usb2, 1-0:1.0, 1-1, 1-1:1.0, 1-8, 1-8:1.0 and 2-0:1.0 are found in /sys/bus/usb/devices the kernel & source are 2.6.18.2-34x86-64
see 1) for automounting at boot.
Hope it helps.
Can we try once more?
