I have an issue with mounting a cheap smart watch in #linux: Device is seen by the kernel, but never registered as a storage device /dev/sd*:

usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0e8d, idProduct=0002, bcdDevice= 1.00
...
usb-storage 1-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
scsi host0: usb-storage 1-2:1.0

Ok, the plot thickens. When booting from the Linux Mint USB stick, the USB ports work. But when booting the installed version, USB ports are broken. Why??

So my current working hypothesis is: Live Linux Mint uses kernel 6.14, my installation uses kernel 6.17. This is probably what causes the regression?
So I might want to downgrade the kernel...
#linux #linuxmint

Nope, that was not it. I downgraded to Linux 6.14.0-37, but USB still doesn't work. So it must be something with my installation! But what?

@root42 it sounds like it does not load some usb drivers. But for default usb never seen that happen.
