I'm a bit of a newbie, but I've done a good bit of research, and some asking around on this issue, and haven't been able to resolve it yet.=20 I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE with the GENERIC kernel. (from what i can tell, it has all of the necessary pieces to allow usb drives). When I plug my ipod into my computer, dmesg gets the following addition: umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 However, that's all that appears there relative to it. From google, I found that plugging in an ipod or a usb thumb drive should add a /dev/da0 (or similar) entry to /dev, which you should mount. I still don't have a /dev/da*, and I actually checked, and nothing is getting added to /dev when I plug the ipod in. I thought that perhaps this was a problem related to support for the ipod, but I have the exact same problem whenever I try to mount a usb thumb drive. Nothing new appears in /dev, and dmesg simply gives one line explaining that umass0 sees the item. A TA's thumb drive had the same problem. The ipod is FAT32, and has been used in linux many times. The thumb drive is currently ext3, but I'd like to reformat it to FAT32 once I can get FreeBSD to recognize it. Here's the info I can find about the ipod: from dmesg: umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 from usbdevs -d: addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel uhub4 addr 2: iPod mini, Apple umass0 And the info from my usb thumb drive: from dmesg: umass0: PNY Attache 2.0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2 from usbdevs -d: addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel uhub4 addr 2: Attache 2.0, PNY umass0 Lines that I think are important from the kernel config: # USB support device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0) device usb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device ch # SCSI media changers device da # Direct Access (disks) If there's any further information that would help, please let me know. These are the things I've found mentioned on google... Thanks, ~Erin -- http://www.tuxgirl.com
