USB devices not mapping

[JustaGuy]

These are screenshots of my lsusb -t & my VM config file where I have the USB devices added to the VM. Something's not right, since the devices aren't detected by the guest OS.

Would someone advise as to what I need to do to get these devices working please?

Thanks.

I've removed one of the USB hubs from the line, so I just have 1 hub involved now, and this is as minimal as I can go with the machine in question.

My lsusb -t still outputs this, but the devices are so nested I don't know how to write them out in the VM config like 1-6.1, etc.

root@TappanZee:~# lsusb -t

If I do usb0: host=1-1, it doesn't work, nor does something like host=1-6, or host=1-6.3.3 either.

Does anyone know how to make this work?

It looks like you have the bus and ports the wrong way round?

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_physical_port_mapping

does this work: usb0: host=2-1

BTW are they USB ASIC Block Erupters?

 

[JustaGuy]

They're all on bus 1 though- I don't think I have them backwards.
The forum formatted what I pasted such that it isn't displayed properly like it is in the terminal, too, so it's a bit misleading by looking at it there, I hadn't realized it until just now.

And yes, they are block erupters.

I got it working on another box for now, so I'm not so worried about it anymore. It would be nice to have it working on the server though.

Ive reread - what happens if you try:

usb0: host=1-6.1

should be this device (in italic):
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/8p, 480M
|__ Port 6: Dev 69, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 70, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=cp210x, 12M
|__ Port 2: Dev 71, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=cp210x, 12M

I'm not going to bother anytime soon, I might mess with it again in a week or so, in which case I'll post an updated version on what the lsusb -t command outputs, & hopefully I can get it to format correctly in the forum here.

I think the problem is that there are extra nested layers requiring more than 1 decimal.
