The first thing that would jump to mind is: Check kernel output: tail -f /var/log/messages are there any changes to this output when you insert the usb key? When the key is connected, run fdisk -l in a console. Find where it can be mounted from: Example: /dev/sda1 Now run: Mkdir /media/my-usb-key Mount /dev/sda1 /media/my-usb-key Or.... If it says it's already mounted, try just typing mount to see where it's mounted to. -----Original Message----- From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek [mailto:constant@indo.net.id] Sent: 21 August 2007 13:16 To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] USB recognition Strange but with some usb units attached to my 10.2 running computer, some of the attachments are readily seen and can be used right away. My usb memory stick does not stir any activity but if I use my cardreader with one of the slots occupied it give me the well known choices. What is the cause of this phenomena?
