rabid_fishquestion on avoiding usb-storage during installation ...11:04
rabid_fishso, given that some of you likely aren't directly available but may read this later, I'll give all my details11:07
rabid_fishI've got a thinkpad x21 plugged into a dock.  Need the dock so I can use the CD drive.  Problem is the dock 'creates' a usb problem.11:07
rabid_fishScenario #1: have a harddrive with edgy installed on it from another computer, place drive in my x21.  Get error message 'Maybe usb cable is bad' but otherwise boots and runs11:10
rabid_fishScenario #2: put an Edgy livecd in and boot.  Boots up, and runs the installation until it reaches the usb-storage module.  Then hangs.  On reboot, I no longer have a usable system.11:11
rabid_fishScenario #3: put a Feisty alternate cd in and boot, with no boot parameters.  Get the 'maybe usb cable is bad' message again, hangs at 'starting log daemon'11:12
rabid_fishScenario #4: using the Feisty alternate cd, and boot parameter of debian-installer/probe/usb=false allows me to at least reach the text installer, but about four steps in it dies again at the usb-storage bit11:13
rabid_fishso question: is there a way to blacklist the usb-storage module?  Can I alt+f2, and perhaps alter modprobe.conf in some way such that usb-storage won't be installed during the normal installation process?11:15
stgraberrabid_fish: on the alternate you can still : rm the usb-storage.ko file from /lib/modules/2.6.*/11:21
stgraberrabid_fish: then : depmod -a11:21
stgraberrabid_fish: but I think there is a more proper way to do so :)11:22
rabid_fishgimme a min to try that11:25
stgraberit's in : /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko11:26
stgraberhere11:26
rabid_fishso far, am getting farther!11:28
rabid_fishit's finishing up partitioning then will be on installing packages, have my fingers crossed11:33
