USB, VMWare and selfcompiled Kernel
Hi,
i have an up to date sid installation on my laptop with a selfcompiled
2.6.18 Kernel. I use a Virtual-WindowsXP-machine with the VMplayer.
The problem is to access the USB-port under the VM-XP, if I use the
selfcompiled Kernel. I want to connect an ipaq-pocketpc. If I plug it
in, nothing happens (under XP).
/var/log/messages says me, that an USB-Pocketpc is recognised:

Dec 16 00:54:17 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver ipaq
These USB-drivers are loaded:
usbserial 24864 1 ipaq
usb_storage 23812 0
scsi_mod 75144 1 usb_storage
usbcore 105092 6 ipaq,usbserial,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
While running the standard 2.6.18-3 kernel all works fine, the ipaq is
recognised under WIN, and /var/log/messages looks the same, with these
USB-drivers:
usbserial 29128 1 ipaq
usb_storage 71840 0
scsi_mod 124136 1 usb_storage
usbcore 112676 6 ipaq,usbserial,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
ide_core 110504 6
usb_storage,ide_generic,ide_disk,ide_cd,sis5513,generic
The difference is the loading of ide_core connected with usb_storage. Is
that the problem?
I thought you can not load ide support as a module, when you have root
on it! How do I compile ide_core as a module?
