Package: udev Version: 0.114-2 Installing libgphoto2-2 version 2.4.0-4 caused all usb devices on a Toshiba A100 to disappear.
This seemed to be caused by some device driver being loaded which disabled interrupts from the usb bridge. modifying /etc/udev/rules.d/025_libgphoto2.rules to exclude rules for all devices other than the ones I needed solved this problem. This behaviour was puzzling as there were no devices matching any of the deleted rules, and it was not possible to find any device driver being loaded by udev during the boot process. Setting the irqpoll boot option also renabled the interrupts for the missing devices. I am not quite sure whether this problem relates to the kernel , udev or libgphoto. The kernel version was 2.6.21.5 regards Gregory Eckersley -- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone (61) (3) 98532492,94160130 fax (61) (3) 98532492 mobile (61) 402074026 1/96 Langridge st Collingwood Victoria Australia 3066 & 5 Reeves Court, Kew , Victoria, Australia 3101 ---------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
