Hi all

I bought a Palmp-3 player and would like to make it work under Linux. It has 64 Meg of memory built-in and this can be extended with MMC flash cards (the smallest one).

I search on the forum and found that some people got that kind of device to work with the usb-storage module. I don't know why but this doesn't work for me. Here is the story:

I recompiled the kernel with the following options (found it on google and here on the forum):

Hot-plugable device .. (build in)
Plug&Play .. (built it)
usbdevfs .. (built it)
SCSI, SCSI disk and SCSI generic .. (all modules)
usb, usb-ohci, usb-storage (with Microtech compactflash/smartmedia, SanDisk sddr-09 and SanDisk sddr-55) .. (all mudules)

Once the kernel compiled, I 'rc-update add hotplug default' and added 'usb-ohci' to /etc/modules.autoload. I rebooted and did lsmod and got
Code:

..
usb-ohci               17480   0  (unused)
usbcore                55360   1  [usb-ohci]
..

None of the usb-storage or sd_mod or sg was loaded but the device is listed in /proc/bus/usb/device as mentionned here
Code:

root@localhost bin # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 4
B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S:  Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S:  SerialNumber=e2934000
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr=  0mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   2 Ivl=255ms
T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  4 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0b4b ProdID=0100 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Pine Corp. Ltd.
S:  Product=Pine MP3 Player
S:  SerialNumber=
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=00 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms


As you can see, the device is listed (Pine MP3 player) but hotplug didn't load usb-storage or anything else to talk with the device ( Driver=(none) ).

Now, even if I modprobe usb-storage, sg, sd_mod or anything, it is always writen Driver=(none) in /proc/bus/usb/device.

Any idea ??

Thanks in advance

Any takers ?

BTW, I'm able to use it with vmware. I specified the path to the device to be /proc/bus/usb and it found it. How come I can use it with vmware and not in Linux ? :cry:
