Some time in the last week or so my system stopped loading
the usb bus driver modules, uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd, at startup.
In rc.sysinit, there is the following test:
if ! LC_ALL=C fgrep -q "usb" /proc/devices 2>/dev/null ; then
aliases=`/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias usb-controller/ { print
$3 }'`
...
Presumably the intent is that if usb already appears in
/proc/devices, then the driver must already be loaded / or
compiled into the kernel? Well, for whatever reason my system
now shows a line:
180 usb
Bill, if you wish to probe, I suggest using /proc/bus/usb/devices and
check if it's present and non-empty. This should work on both 2.4 and
2.6. It needs usbcore to be loaded before it can be mounted.
