USB Mass storage and Iphone issues
Posted: 2. Feb 2009, 20:57
Hi all, and thanks to developers for this fantastic software.
I have some problems with the new release of virtualbox (2.1.2).
I'm running debian unstable, and it was perfectly configured, only some low level actions caused problems (like iPhone jailbreaking ...).
Anyway I've done two things last week. I upgraded my kernel from source (to version 2.6.28.1), and I upgraded virtualbox to the latest version (2.1.2).
Using the same image of Windows XP, now I have problems with usb pen (and storage in general) and with iphone.
Both of this devices cannot be recognized by XP guest machine but, I can hear the classic xp sound, when I attach (via the "Devices" menu) a USB device.
I notice right now that also other USB devices are not working correctly. For example mouse stop working (also in Linux Host), my webcam shows blank output.
I've read a lot of things about this problem, but I cannot realize if this is a kernel problem or a vbox problem (I repeat, on my linux host machine, everything is going perfectly).
I show you some output from my system, feel free to ask me anything
121 is "vboxusers" group id, and my user belong also to that group.
I also recompiled kernel, changing ./drivers/usb/core/devio.c constant (don't recall the name..) to 128k...
Maybe I'm missing something on my kernel configuration?
Thanks in advance!

. I switch between laptop and PC every day (laptop at school, PC at home, most of the time), so I can't give you an lsmod reply now. I can reply that tomorrow.
