[x86][rc3] usb modules do not work

[flux]

I really hate to open this one because there was one already #6873. But it seems like it won't be fixed any time soon. Marking the bug as fixed is of cause a solution but it does not improve the situation, does it?

How to reproduce:

1. take openwrt-x86-ext2.image.gz from ​http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03-rc3/x86/. Unpack it to /whatever/
2. dd of=/dev/sd(whatever) if=/whatever/openwrt-x86-ext2.image
3. opkg update; opkg install kmod-usb-ohci

Is kmod-nls-base installed?

Replying to jow:

Is kmod-nls-base installed?

yes it is installed. But this was a good tip, thank you. The missing package is kmod-nls-utf8. But how could I detect this from the error description? Shouldn't be a dependency to it from kmod-usb-core?

Shouldn't be a dependency to it from kmod-usb-core?

or add it into the image by default together with the kmod-nls-base

No, it's not.

$ grep -r utf16s_to_utf8s build_dir/linux-x86_generic/linux-2.6.32.10/fs/nls/
build_dir/linux-x86_generic/linux-2.6.32.10/fs/nls/nls_base.c:int utf16s_to_utf8s(const wchar_t *pwcs, int len, enum utf16_endian endian,
build_dir/linux-x86_generic/linux-2.6.32.10/fs/nls/nls_base.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(utf16s_to_utf8s);

So the dependency on kmod-nls-base is correct.

Can you try re-installing the following modules in the specified order ?

1. kmod-nls-base
2. kmod-usb-core
3. kmod-usb2
4. kmod-usb-ohci

I removed all usb modules and all nls modules. Rebooted (necessary). Installed kmod-usb2 and got the errors. Rebooted again and installed kmod-usb-storage - no error messages and everything works. Could it be that kmod-nls-base is somehow not configured at all before the fist reboot? Because if I'd install more usb modules before the first reboot then I'd get all the errors for every package that has dependecny to the kmod-nls-base.

And yes kmod-nls-utf8 is not needed.

maybe this problem is also related to this one #7057

Should be fixed in [20686], thanks !
