[06-29-03 23:57]: [snip ...] After I couldn't get my Dig Camera to work with SuSE I decided to buy a cardreader. It is a Belkin USB media reader with slots for 8 different cards. So far so good.
I connected it and it came up somewhere ( cannot remember where) as a compact flash reader. However for some reason I had to restart my computer and now it ( the computer) doesn't start anymore.
You say nothing specific about your equipment or version of SuSE, so you force guestimation.
Ok. Sorry about that. Using SuSe 8.2 with a 1GHZ Intel CPU, 40GB HDD and 512 RAM
Since your system started properly before you plugged-in the card-reader, unplug the card-reader until your system is booted, then plug-in the card-reader.
I plugged in the reader ( on a running sysstem) and looked in USB devices. Both USB ports are recognized . One is the printer and the other one is the card-reader.
The card-reader should *always* be unmounted before removing the card. You are having problems that are resolved by unplugging the card-reader before booting. *Do* unplug the card-reader before booting. Otherwise, be sure to unmount the *card* before removing it. My system caused me problems with the card-reader plugged-in also, so I unplug it when I reboot every 6 to 12 weeks. I use more than one device on that cable anyway. I only have 2 ports and have an epson 925 usb printer which I leave plugged-in. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
