usbmsd.add--what is this? I can't see anything in the USBconfig app.

Hi zizban

Look on the page called Mass Storage. This will set the options you select for usbmsd.add (usb mass storage driver).

Regards

Pete

Hi zizban

Silly question time: Did you reboot to activate changes?

If Yes:-
1] Plug in the device - You are not booting with this already attached are you?
2] Run USBcfg.
3] Check that there is not any unwanted USB CD/DVD drives on the Optical Page. If you make any changes here Reboot, remove Device first, and then restart from 1].
4] Click the Run button on the Resource Manager page.
5] Is the device reported?

If the device is not reported it could be that you have an earlier USB Resource Manager installed. What version does USBcfg report on Page 2 of I/O?

Regards

Pete

I decided to backtrack and do a clean install. I took the time to look at the docs on the download page of the USB drivers on eComstation and discovered that I made a very basic mistake. Apparently os2ldr.exe needs to be invoked with the -d switch. I just double clicked the icon and didn't see the install would fail without the -d switch. I have just run LDRINST.EXE and rebooted.

More details soon.

No I am not booting with the flash drive plugged in.

The USB Resource Manager says USB Driver Not Found! I had seen this error before but didn't think of it.

USBcfg reports my Res Mgr as 0.9.6 yet the app itself says 0.9.7

Hi zizban

There are several bits to the Res Mgr application. I think you need to check that you have a line similar to this in your config.sys file:-

DEVICE=H:\ECS\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS

USBcfg reports the bldlevel of that file not the usbres.exe file.

You know, when I clean reinstalled eCom I had no problems but once I used USBcfg I started getting an error about usbrsmgr in config.sys on reboot "line invalid, ignored". I finally had to comment it out to get it to stop. It was like USBresmgr was either being moved or USBconfig didn't know where to look.

Hi zizban

I would be surprised if USBcfg is causing the problem and cannot reproduce it here but feel free to email me with Before and After versions of the config.sys file and I will have a look into that.

I was running a live Linux CD on this beast just to see what the recent release of Mandrivalooked like when I got the same USB problems. Some searching through forums fingered the problem as the way the 6 in Card card reader that is built in interfaces with the mobo. I unplugged the card reader the the rest of the USB ports started working.

Thank you all for your time and patience helping me!
