Default My FreeBSD machine no longer recognise any USB device
I realise my FreeBSD doesnt recognise any USB device anymore. Nothing related to usb shows up when I insert usb device: bluetooth dongle, usb stick...

Does anyone have any idea? This is my current kernel config file:

Quote:
#
# GENERIC -- Generic kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/i386
#
# For more information on this file, please read the handbook section on
# Kernel Configuration Files:
#
# http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ig-config.html
#
# The handbook is also available locally in /usr/share/doc/handbook
# if you've installed the doc distribution, otherwise always see the
# FreeBSD World Wide Web server (http://www.FreeBSD.org/) for the
# latest information.
#
# An exhaustive list of options and more detailed explanations of the
# device lines is also present in the ../../conf/NOTES and NOTES files.
# If you are in doubt as to the purpose or necessity of a line, check first
# in NOTES.

try enabling
device ch # SCSI media changers

also i'm now shore where is this used, but try
device firmware # firmware assist module


also seams you can disable
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
since i don't see any device enabled, that depends on this

Or, more conveniently: Try booting with a GENERIC-kernel and see if that changes anything. That's generally a good thing to test if you've got problems and are using a custom kernel.

# kldload ehci
# cd /boot/kernel
# kldload u*

Maybe this helps. You're probably just missing some required modules.

Im still unsure why you suggested me to cd /boot/kernel, and do you mean I should load all module starting with u? (there are so many ones)

Btw, my system is FreeBSD 6.4

Well, this covers most USB modules. If it's a missing module, it will probably be among those.
