Greetings fellow listers.
I am encountering a vexing problem with the current 64-bit version of
Sun's VirtualBox(2.1.4r42893) on openSUSE 11.0. I've noticed that I
cannot mount USB devices in a Windows XP guest, even though everything
seems to be configured correctly:
USB and USBEHCI are enabled in the xVM Manager application.
usbfs entry added to /etc/fstab to allow group access to USB bus.
No USB filters are applied.
users have been added to the vboxusers group and USB drives show up
in /dev/bus/usb as belonging to that group - so the usbfs line in fstab
must be working.
When the Windows guest is started, mousing-over the USB icon indicates
that no devices are attached, but right-clicking on the icon shows the
name of the device in grayed text - so I know it knows it's there, but
it will not mount in the Windows guest.
opening a shell and typing: "VBoxManage list usbhost" indicates that the
USB device is there, but its current state is listed as: Unavailable.
Now, the problem: What can I do to make the device available, as I
assume that doing so will allow it to mount in the Windows guest?

Jay,
I'm in the same boat and can't wait for somebody to help on this one... You've
done more troubleshooting than I have had time for. Let's hope the answer is
staring us in the face.
