do any usb devices work? on the root is from prompt, type !rc
on the rc shell, run:
cat /dev/usbevent &
then try to pull and plugin the usb cdrom. if nothing happens then
we have a problem with the usb controller or the hub.
if that seems to work, it might be the usb cdrom itself.
i suggest you go to #cat-v irc channel and we trouble shoot this.

another idea: usb devices are enumerated in the background, so you might
not see them in the "devices found" list. theres a usbdelay= parameter
in plan9.ini but its not used by default. try waiting some time...
then enter xxx or some other invalid bootline to let it rescan for
devices. or just run !rc and look for usb devices yourself.
ls /shr ls /dev/sdU*

Nothing happens when I cat /dev/usbevent and unplug and replug the drive.
Waiting does not seem to be working either, unless I'm not waiting long enough.

Anschelsc:
Try booting with the following:
*nousbehci=1
and/or
*nousbuhci=1
then follow the troubleshooting steps outlined above again.

could you try the latest iso? there where some mp interrupt
problems that prevented usb from working on some thinkpads.
try booting in mp mode by removing the *nomp= kernel parameter.

As far as I can tell that still doesn't help; I assume that to "remove the
*nomp= kernel parameter" I boot with "*nomp=0". Is there something else I
should do? Should I combine this with one of the above options?

usualy, one omits the parameter completly to "disable" it
as most of the drivers just do a check like:
if(getconf(*foobar")) return;
and ignore its value. but *nomp is an exception doing
a strcmp() for "0" here.
too bad it didnt work. :( was just a guess as we recently
had a machine that just had fucked up mp tables causing
interrupts getting configured incorrectly.
grab usb spec and start experimenting / debugging? check
how far the driver gets... if we skip any steps mentioned
in the spec?

this looks closely related to issue #101

I don't currently have the drive with me; I'll hopefully get my hands on it in
a week or three.
