Little progress = still looking for usb devices

hey there. i am running Arch w/ 2..6.7
my usb system seems to be jaxed up. xcdroast did not find my usb cd/writer and although gtkam selects the right camera for my usb camera, it gives me an error like
"cannot list folders in / " -
i may have some kernel modules that still need to load but i dont know which ones.
any help here would be great. How do you get usb working in Arch ? thanks all

ok, well i got the usb camera working. Google prodced this, modprobe ochi-hcd. so i did that and added it to rc.conf and now the camera works ok. still think i am going to go for digikam though. he he.
the CDRW is a TDK usb one. Its usb 2 but i think that my motherboard usb port is only usb 1.
It works fine in Debian ( which i got rid of for Arch ) and thats cool. This is the last piece of hardware now i have yet to get going.
the google results also suggested loading echi-hcd but when i tried the messsage i got was "could not find module echi_hcd.
Here is the output from lsusb

  • IBook is not starting up - "still waiting for root device"

    The 600 MHz / 640 MB / 20 GB iBook did not want to wake up and after forced shutdown would not start up. grey screen. With MacOS X CD - "prohibition sign", MacOs 9 - no start at all
    I had 2 partitions on the HD one with Tiger and other with 9.2.2 - none of them appear in the list of startUp folders. would not go into the Target mode.
    I know there are few threads here with similar problem - I went through them but nothing of the suggestions would help.
    Did reset the PRAM (only once though) - when I still heard the startUp chime
    Did reset PMU
    Left the machine unplugged for about 12 hours
    Now I managed to get into single user mode while attempting to start up from a Tiger DVD. Here is what I see on the screen:

    also I did not hear start up sound anymore. Yesterday it was still audible.... can someone please help?!
    iBook dual USB   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    thanx for replying. Last night I finally managed to start up the machine using a FireWire ext HD as a StartUp Disk. Disk Utility and TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior are not showing the internal HD at all.
    Since I was not able to use any start CDs including original MacOs X and 9 Cds maybe it is a problem with Data Cable that connects both HD and optical drive with logic board? It is hard to imagine why it would come to something like that. Overheat? I did not have enough free space on Tiger partition - 1GB. Maybe that. I am starting to look for a replacement HD....

  • Looking for a device to control the incoming audio

    Hello together,
    I use my MacBook Pro as a visual artist, who does audio-reactive stuff.
    I usually hook up to the DJ mixer, who provides me with a stereo cinch signal.
    But every DJ mixer has a different signal level. And often the DJ gets drunk & turns up the volume during the night.
    I'm looking for a device that I can plug between the DJ's cinch cabel and my microphone input jack at my MacBook Pro. A device that shows me the actual signal level via LED or a gauge and let me adjust the audio level. Up or down. To make sure I always have (more or less) the same level reaching my MBP.
    I cant open the SysPrefs 10x a night to adjust the audio signal. Plus I want to protect my MBP agains high peak levels.
    Maybe something like this microphone thing:
    http://behringer.de/MIC100/index.cfm?lang=ENG
    Do you have other suggestions?
    Kind regards, Jan

    Hi,
    The item you listed is a pre-amp usually used in conjunction with microphones to provide phantom power (to large diameter mics) and to boost/warm their signal.
    From your description, it seems you are looking for an audio interface. An audio interface would convert the incoming signal from analog to digital at the interface, instead of inside the computer, and route the signal into your computer through the firewire or usb (depending on model) port. The advantage is that the AD/DA converter on these units is normally of much higher quality than the one included with the macbook pro and the signal is subject to less interference.
    I've linked a unit in the mac store http://store.apple.com/us/product/TQ936Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3MA&mco=MjE2MzAxNw which is very popular, but it's a little pricey considering it's only 2 channel but then, for your application, that's all you'll need. There are cheaper alternatives to be found at music hardware sales websites eg. musiciansfriend.com . Again, you'd search for 'audio interface' for a mac.

  • PANTHER on Wallstreet: "Still waiting for Root device"

    I have problems installing panther on my wallstreet with Xpostfacto.
    I could install CD1 but it didn't accept CD2 (installer was waiting for the CD2, inserted it, nothing happened)
    Then I did a clean install (format disks in OS9, etc), only to find out that now it will not even load the first OSX install CD, "Still waiting for Root device" in verbose mode.
    I try to load the CD again, it starts spinning for a second and then seems to stall.
    Everything works fine however in OS9: the CD drive and the OSX install CD's
    This is my config:
    Wallstreet G3 233 mhz (M4753) 14,1 inch no USB
    Powerlogix G4/500 upgrade card
    OS 9.1 (I can install 9.2.2 if necessary)
    Xpostfacto (only option: "PatchedRagePro" to avoid purple video)
    Panther install CD's
    If someone could help me out, I'd be very thankfull!!

    Walvis,
    Not much to offer but a few suggestions.
    With all peripherals removed including PC cards and mouse, I would shut down, then reset the PRAM and startup into 9.x and try XPostFacto again to boot the Panther CD.
    If unsuccessful, you might try trashing XPostFacto and reinstalling it; be sure to trash the XPostFacto log in the Preferences folder.
    How much installed RAM is present? If you have more than 256MB, consider removing one of the modules, then try your install. For whatever reason, the OSX installer can't deal with more than 256MB of RAM on some Wallstreets although I do believe the use of XPostFacto mitigates this.
    The PowerLogix upgrade card may also play a role.
    I would head over to the XPostFacto Forums and read about the install issues on the Wallstreet in the Powerbook Forums.

  • Mac won't boot installer (still waiting for root device)

    Hi,
    I've recently tried to install serveral linux distro's on my MacBook.
    Somewhere down the road something screwed up booting OSX.
    Now i can't boot a OSX install usb stick, because after some time i see a prohibited sign.
    If i boot into verbose or singleuser mode my Mac gets stuck at "still waiting for root device".
    I first thought the HDD was responsible for the error but i've taken it out and replaced it with a new HDD.
    The same error persists, even when i completely remove the HDD (boot from USB without a HDD attached).
    I also tried removing the original HDD and connecting it to my iMac via a USB dock, from there I repartitioned the HDD with a GUID partition scheme.
    I don't care about losing data on the HDD, I would like to be able to boot the USB installer and reinstall OSX.
    Oddly I can still install ubuntu or other OS's on the MacBook, but OSX get's stuck every time i try to boot.
    It's MacBook 4,1 early 2008.
    Thanks,
    Bart

    I'm assuming there's a backup of all partitions around somewhere, because this situation is deep into the likelihood of data loss already.  
    Per the Mavericks specs, MacBook4,1 Early 2008 isn't supported for 10.9 Mavericks, so whatever you're booting will need to be an earlier version of OS X. 
    Have you tried that bootable USB disk on another Mac, just to see if that's working correctly on another system? 
    Back in that vintage, DVD distros would have been more typical, and I think Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD will boot there (most of those seemed to first ship with 10.5.2, per some specs), if you don't have your original DVD disks. 
    Failing that, you could try erasing the disk using Linux or (if you can get at it) booting the installation disk and using Disk Utility, and see if that'll let you have access.

Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • Single User Mode: Still waiting for root device

    iMac G4.
    I reset the NVRAM, PRAM. It won't attempt to boot from anything but a OS 10.4 cd; booting from OS 9 cd just leaves me at the flashing question mark icon.
    If I try to boot from OS X cd, it comes back with the prohibitory sign.
    If I try to boot into single user mode, it gives me a bunch of "...."has no kernal dependency lines, then a 'still waiting for root device' line, and repeats that.
    Something to the effect before the 'still waiting for root device' is "Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProvider-Class</key><string ID="1">IOResouces</string><key>IOResouceMatch></key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>"
    Any help please?

    Nevermind...I found out that the hard drive was bad...still puzzles me why it wouldn't boot from CD though, as I thought they all should even if no drive is present.

  • 10.6.8 Netboot - "Still waiting for root device"

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble with one particular 10.6.8 Netboot image that is hosted on a Mac Pro running 10.5.8 Server.  (The main 10.5.8 Server is currently hosting about 15 other Netboot and Netrestore images that work with no problem.)  I built the image on a 10.6.8 Server using System Image Utility from a fully updated 10.6.8 restore image on an external hard drive.  The external drive was started up on MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac systems ranging from Late '06 to Early '11 revisions.  Software update was run on every startup, but came back fully up-to-date every time and never encountered problems starting up each from the external drive.
    I then ran Disk Utility permissions repair on the external drive from the 10.6.8 Server Mac Pro and built the Netboot image in System Image Utility.  Although I am fairly new to this process, I have already successfully built several 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9 Netrestore images as well as one 10.9 diagnostic Netboot that all work perfectly.  I followed the same process when creating the 10.6.8 Netboot image.
    The image I created, called 10.6.8 Diags 3.0, shows up in the Netboot list, but when I attempt to boot it shows the Apple logo for a bit before showing the "circle slash" symbol.  Verbose mode shows that it hangs when starting and repeats "Still waiting for root device" over and over again and never does anything.
    I have rebuilt the 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 Netboot image several times to rule out the possibility of corruption durring image creation.  I have also tried to create the image from a Firewire attached external drive as well as building the data on the external drive into a .dmg on the 10.6.8 Server and then creating the image from that.  All methods of creating the image yeild the same "Still waiting for root device" error when attempting to start up on any system supporting the 10.6.8 kernel.
    Netboot settings in Server Admin are the same as other Netboot images that are functioning: enabled, diskless, Intel (grayed out), and NFS.  I have verified that all enabled image index numbers are unique and even tried several different index numbers on the problem Neboot image.
    Again, all other Netrestore images I created on the same 10.6.8 Server work just fine when added to the Netboot directory on the 10.5.8 Main Server, but the Netboot image of 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 does not.  I'm not sure what else to try at this point, any ideas?

    Ooooh. I've been reading similar pages on cidori.org and just assumed it was one of those. Remarkable how my google searches didn't find that one. Thanks for the pointer, and I'll go try it.
    Thanks again, Dan.

  • Switched from NAS to external harddrive but Itunes is still looking for NAS

    I used to have a NAS (Net attached storage) and i switched to a Seagate 1TB external harddrive, I copied the whole Itunes library, program etc...and it runs but it is 7.6 version so it would not identify my ipod until i updated the software, so i go to update, download the update and go to do the update and I get a error message that it cant locate //nas/disk1 the old destination...I went so far as to delete itunes and Quicktime and redownload itunes 8.1 so i go to install it and it is still looking for //nas/disk1 now i have a folder with 375gb of music and movies and no program to run it.... I try to go into control panel add/delete programs and itunes is still in there so i go to delete and I get a error message that it cant delete it because it cant find //nas/disk1...*** I need help Please someone tell me what i have to do to I was able to delete quicktime but it still shows itunes and it will not let me install itunes...i did a search through the computer and ther are no files for itunes so i do not know why it is still trying to locate it from there....HELP

    Hi,
    The reason that you are getting the ! is because iTunes is still looking for the music on your external hard drive.
    You need to create a new library iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    Now turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer. You will now see all your music in the cloud. When you want to add new music, revert to the original library on your external hard drive.

  • I am looking for a device that will answer phone calls on my Mac. I have had a Phonevalet, and it is great, but it is no longer made.

    I am looking for a device that will answer a landline phone. I have a Phonevalet, which answers, takes messages, has call block and is pluged into my Address Book, but it was discontinued, and I would like to add another line. Ovalabs made a similar device, but it also is gone. Is ther a way to use an Apple Modem to take calls? Any other product? The best part of the PhoneValet for me was it would announce the caller ID over my stereo (pluged into my Mac) and I could hear who was calling in my workshop and decide if I wanted to interupt the call.

    I know I'm talking about expensive apps, but having been in prepress for about 30 years now, I really don't look at anything other than Quark XPress or InDesign for page layout apps. Your printing vendor will also be much happier with you when you use these products. Some areas of the U.S. tend to be mostly Quark oriented; others, InDesign. Ask your vendor what they would prefer, and if there are any free or cheap alternative apps they'll accept documents from.
    Apple's Pages app (part of iWork) is a decent page layout program, but hasn't been updated in four years. It also doesn't support CMYK. If you place a CMYK image in the app, it will export out an RGB version of it. Not good! You can work with RGB images if you prefer, but your CMYK translations will be left to the skill of the print shop you use to do the conversions.
    Don't even think about using Word. It has what it calls a page layout option, and does pretty much work like one, but there's no good way to import it into a real layout app such as InDesign. You end up paying the printer for their time to rebuild your entire project in either XPress or InDesign so they can actually do something with it.
