The only way I got my USB2 external HD and USB1 cardreader to work was to have them plugged in and a card put in the card reader on boot up.

You can achieve the same result w/o rebooting: as root, rchotplug restart (with the devices plugged in and a card in place)

be patient, it takes a couple of minutes. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

I recently installed SuSE Linux 9.1, and usb-storage does not work. I have been using SuSE 8.1 all along on the same hardware, using several usb devices which require usb-storage, including memory sticks and digital cameras. Notice that the usb part in general works in 9.1 (e.g. the scanner works), just storage devices don't.

SuSE 9.1 is not un upgrade, it is a fresh install. I tried updating all packages, including the kernel, two days ago, but the result is exactly the same. I also installed Fedora Core 2, but exactly the same result occurred. SuSE and Fedora handle automounting differently, so I think this is related to the new kernel 2.6

I just found out that I had missed some recent updates on Fedora's kernel. With the latest version (2.6.10) usb storage works again on my system. Hopefully SuSE will update their kernel soon.

I guess that's another advantage of 9.2 and the kernel included with it, USB devices have worked remarkably well with it. USB worked in 9.1, but 9.2 cleared up any of the little bumps I experienced in 9.1. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
