I'm pretty sure that I was able to successfully access the RAM sticks shortly after I installed 9.3, but now they're gone. In the past few days I installed VMware 5.0 and I'm wondering if it is responsible for the problem.
If I learn more, I'll pass it on.
Shortly after writing this, I noticed that VMware had installed a rather large (over 1000 lines) init script (/etc/init.d/vmware). Since I had not rebooted since installing VMware, I did so after discovering this init script. Now things look rather different: % lsmod |egrep -i usb usb_storage 72256 0 usbserial 34024 0 usblp 16640 0 usbcore 121688 6 usb_storage,usbserial,usblp,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd ide_core 131904 4 usb_storage,ide_cd,ide_disk,piix scsi_mod 136008 6 usb_storage,st,sr_mod,sg,aic7xxx,sd_mod % lsusb Bus 005 Device 005: ID 045a:5210 SONICblue, Inc.

There was a spurious detection of a new printer (the same old one) which the YaST hardware configurator then recognized as an attempt to reconfigure an already-configured device. So it seems things are working again as they should. Randall Schulz
