Other Help Topics :: USB Hi-speed 2.0 (USB harddrive)

You can edit the minirt24.gz file and add a command to install the ehci-hcd module in the linuxrc file.

Or you can make a usb boot floppy disk and then rename your old minirt24.gz file to minirt24.gz.old and then copy the minirt24.gz file over from the floppy into your USB drive.

This topic is not about booting USB2.0

It's about getting my stick to work on USB2 speed.

so, I do:
insmod ehci-hcd
I mount my USB2.0 harddisk like "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb"

I transfer a file with MidnighCommander and see 500Kbit/s transfer rate...

With lsmod I see the ehci-hcd module but it doesn't have a used Flag nexto it. So I can rmmod ehci-hcd while the transfer/cp is busy, why didn't the mount use this ehci-hcd module??? Can I force it?

Your issue would most likely be gone, if you use the latest version.
Read the change log regarding USB 2.0.

Revisiting old issues is only confusing when they have already been addressed.
