[solved] USB Drives not aviable

[Gladdle]

Hi there, since my kernel update to 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 i've got a few problems. Currently i can't use USB Drives. If i plug them in (i've tried different, so it's not the drive itself), dmesg shows me:

Code: Select all

But there is nothing in /dev/sd*, also gparted or something else didn't find something. Also lsblk or blkid is blind:

Code: Select all

    └─VG--Encrypted--Gentoo-LVroot 254:2    0 920,9G  0 lvm   /

So it seems it's a missing kernel configuration. I've searched a lot, but i cant find something, so can someone give me a hint?

[pingtoo]

I wonder if you missing scsi disk support in kernel.

[Gladdle]

It seem so, but where can i find it?

[grknight]

Ensure that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is enabled in the kernel for most USB_STORAGE to be effective

[pingtoo]

It seem so, but where can i find it?

if you grep -i scsi /path/to/kernel/.config what do you see?

[grknight]

if you grep -i scsi /path/to/kernel/.config what do you see?

Unfortunately, this will not show a required option (see above).

[pingtoo]

if you grep -i scsi /path/to/kernel/.config what do you see?

Unfortunately, this will not show a required option (see above).

Thanks, I am just guessing.

From the output in the first post I can see that this is enabled (also CONFIG_USB_STORAGE; even UAS) ...

Gladdle,

which filesystem do you have on this stick? I ask, because I once had a problem with a stick from a friend ... from Windows ... it was formated with NTFS

(make sure you have this FS enabled)

Make sure you have also this option enabled: CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y

[Gladdle]

I can't even see the USB Stick partition table within gparted, mparted or familiar, so the file system seems not to be the problem. Here is the kernel config with SCSI:

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y

Last but not least, "STORAGE":

Code: Select all

CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_CYPRESS_ATACB=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ENE_UB6250=m

[grknight]

I believe it is time to stop guessing. Please post the entire kernel config to a paste site.

Although the full configuration would be nice, the most recent post from OP shows grknight's earlier advice was not heeded:

Ensure that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is enabled in the kernel for most USB_STORAGE to be effective

However:

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is not set

I also note that OP repeatedly edited that post, most recently after grknight requested the full configuration, so the relevant quote might not have been there when grknight posted.

I am sorry, i dont want to spam, so i edited the post to reduce spam. Thank you for your help, thats it. If anyone use "make menuconfig", it's within this menu:

Code: Select all

Device Drivers  --->
  SCSI device support  --->
    <*> SCSI disk support

It was my own failure, i tought, thst's the old SCSI Connection, at that time IDE was going to be old and SATA wasn't there.
