The linux kernel have modules for nearly any existing chipset, as I assume you don't have yet recompiled your own kernel the modules must be available by default.

USB modules support for chipsets are:

UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support

OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support

Try to type this command as root (not all distros allows it for users) in a term and you should see something like this:

This line is interesting:

usbcore			   122620  6 uhci_hcd,usb_storage,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

it shows that both uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd are loaded and available.

If ohci_hcd is not loaded try to load it by typing : "modprobe ohci_hcd" as root.

A lspci in a console should give you the exact chipset model, example:

Hi cnnaing,

As you can see on the bottom of your lspci output, your PC has an USB 2.0 controller:

01:07.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
01:07.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
01:07.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
01:07.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01)

You should be able to use USB devices. What kind of device do you want to connect to your PC (brand, type) ? Can you give more infos ?

Can you also post the output of the uname -a command so I can know which kernel you use (like this):

uname -a
Linux moobaan 2.6.15-archck #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 13 17:43:37 EST 2006 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I saw that the "usbhid" module was not loaded on your machine, it is used by USB keyboard and mouse. So if you need it type "modprobe usbhid" and check if it is loaded with the "lsmod" command. You can also load the usbserial module "modprobe usbserial".

You typed:

[root@dhcppc4 ~]# modprob ohci-hcd
bash: modprob: command not found

Of course the command cannot be found because it's "modprobe" (you forgot the final e). And the module name is ohci_hcd and not ohci-hcd. But doesn't matter because the module is already loaded (see your lsmod output).

Give more infos, as there a thousands of USB devices and not all requires the same modules and settings. Thanks. :o

Hi Wallalai .....

here,

[root@dhcppc4 ~]# uname -a
Linux dhcppc4 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Note : i did running up2date and installation is ok. when i turned on again my pc this morning, i found 3 OS (1). Linux dhcppc4 2.6.15-XXX. (2). Linux dhcppc4 2.6.11-XXX (3). Other (XP). i don't know what happened.

So.. i choosed (2).

yeah! my mistake. sorry...

[root@dhcppc4 ~]# modprobe uhci_hcd
[root@dhcppc4 ~]#

then

[root@dhcppc4 ~]# modprobe usbhid
FATAL: Module usbhid not found.
[root@dhcppc4 ~]# modprobe usbserial
[root@dhcppc4 ~]#

i use Nu Combo(DVD-CDRW) internal drive with IDE-USB Cable . thanks .. whatever i need help.

when i turned on again my pc this morning, i found 3 OS

It's not a new OS, it's juste the last version of the kernel available for your FC4.

I still don't know which USB device you want to plug in your PC. Just plug it in and look if you have any gui utility for USB managing.
