I am having the exact same problem. My OS is Ubuntu 8.10 on x86_64
I allready tried this:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=666 0 0
All usb related items in my .vmx file
-
usb.present = "TRUE"
usb.generic.autoconnect = "FALSE"
#usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:1/0 autoclean:1"
#usb.autoConnect.device1 = "path:6/1 autoclean:1"
usb.generic.skipSetCfr25onfig = "TRUE"
usb.generic.skipSetConfig = "TRUE"
#example usb.autoConnect.device0 = "0x00b1:0x056a"
usb.autoConnect.device0 = "0x1390:0x0001" #Tomtom
usb.autoConnect.device1 = "0x1976:0x6025" #USB Stick
usb.autoConnect.device2 = "0x05ac:0x200a" #Bluetooth
usb.autoConnect.device3 = "0x05ac:0x1260" #Ipod
usb.autoConnect.device4 = "0x0718:0x0064" #USB stick
usb.autoConnect.device5 = "0x054c:0x0243" #Sony Stick 1GB
usb.autoConnect.device6 = "0x058f:0x6387" #Transcend/TakeMS, 2GB
usb.autoConnect.device7 = "path:6/1 autoclean:1"
usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"
ehci.present = "TRUE"
ehci.pciSlotNumber = "34"
ehci.syncWriteBack = "TRUE"
uhci.syncWriteBack = "TRUE"

Turning on debugging has not brought me anywhere.
The strange thing is that it works in linux kernel 2.6.26, the problem is not OS related, before i had Slamd64 with my own kernel and when i switched to 2.6.27* the USB stopped working.
So i guess it has something to do with the kernel.
