Hi.
I'm linux newbie. I started to install gentoo on saturday, so far some minor problems but i was just able to solve them somehow. But now I ran into one i can't find solution. I'm trying to migrate from Windows to linux. I need to get runnin many things to be able to work under linux.

My problem:
I need to work with my scanner. I got Microtek ScanMaker V6USL, USB. I can't install modules for USB under gentoo-sources 2.4.19 .

My kernel config:
Support for USB - as module
Premilitary USB device filesystem - built-in
UHCI (Intel ... - module
UHCI Alternate Driver - module

usbcore.o failed to start.

Then I found some topics related to VIA KT333 & USB problems. There was an hint to add noapic=yes to kernel line in grub.conf. After that usbcore started but then neither uhci.o or usb-uhci.o worked.

So I tried vanilla-sources 2.4.20, same config as above. Again noapic=yes in kernel line. Then SCSI found my Microtek Scanner (but connected to USB ???? ). I succesfully started usbcore.o and uhci.o.

sane-find-scanner found my Microtek scanner as SCSI too.

But i failed to get NVdriver to start. I reemerge nvidia-kernel, same result.

I'm mounting usbfs in my fstab:
Code:

none                    /proc/bus/usb   usbfs           defaults,devmode=0666   0 0


Well, I just can't figure it out, where is the problem. Neither one kernel works for me ....

Can anybody helped me out somehow ?

PS: My HW specs: MSI KT333, Riva TNT 2 PRO, Duron 1.2Mhz, SB Audigy, Seagate Barracuda V 120gb, TEAC CD-RW W524E

This is _probably_ incorrect, but it worked for my mouse..
try "insmod usbcore" and/or "insmod hid" as root.

I tried it.

Code:

office root # insmod usbcore
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o
office root # insmod hid
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/usb/hid.o
office root # insmod uhci
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/usb/uhci.o
Segmentation fault
office root # insmod usb-uhci
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o


last one hang .... :(

office root # lsmod
