thumb drive not detected

[gmawby]

Hello,

I am running freebsd 5.3 RELEASE on an older machine with usb Sis OHCI root
hub. This is detected during boot and the ohci drive is loaded. However,
when I attach a USB thumb drive the device is not detected, there are no
/dev entries created and no messages in the log.  I've checked the  rc.conf
and it contains the line usbd_enable="YES" and I'm using the generic kernel
so all the drivers are present. I've checked that usb is enabled in the BIOS
and it is.

As the machine is not networked (yet) I was hoping to use the usb key to get
data on and off the machine.

 

Has any one else experienced problems with usb OHCI and umass? .

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
