Title: USB Support
Post by: dilligaf on July 07, 2006, 02:38:05 PM

I installed SME 6.0.1 on a pc that the USB ports were shut off in the BIOS.
I now have the need to use a USB drive on it.
I have enabled the USB ports in the BIOS, but it does not appear that I have support in SME.
Is there something I have to do to get the USB support now?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

further testing etc I find if  I manually do:
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-storeage
and insmod usb-uhci
I can then use the drive (the system sees is)

How do I have the system automatically load the proper modules for usb support?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Try a install upgrade from the CD

Hi Ray,
Thank you for the answer.
Is it possible to do it any other way?
IE the server is in a remote location.
I would sure like to just have the proper modules load, if I can avoid the road trip to do the upgrade from CD.
Thanks in advance.
