Hi, I don't know how my problem relates to this problem, but here goes: I note that under 9.1 (not 9.0) I insert a USB device and the op system autoloads. HOWEVER, if I plug it into another port (new boot) the hardware is not recognised at all: it seems to assume that this device will always be plugged into this port. System remounts device if moved to first-time port; a bit inconvient if there is another device in the port. Also, I have a 20G "Anypak" which works fine, but my 40G "Anypak" is not recognised. (XP has none of the above problems.) Regards, Colin ---- Original message ---- the problem emerged, think) haven't solved the problem. Returning to orig version of

each didn't solve the problem either, for me anyway. The system logs when I plug in a usb device, but can't seem to automount it. I can mount it from terminal, but not automount.
