Much as I hate to admit it I run Windows XP in a virtual (Parallels) machine in a virtual desktop far far away to play bridge on the internet.

That Windows XP in its sandbox grabbed the flash drive as soon as it was put in there. So it showed up in the Windows environment and I did not see it, because I was not playing bridge, but trying to get the flashdrive to work. :-) Apparently this wreaks havoc with the linux scsi driver, because it did not show up as scsi unit in fdisk -l.
But as soon as I put Windows to rest everything worked fine, the stick automounted and worked perfectly. Ahhhhh shugah!! Now I get to return the loving care you showed me in my hour of need. Here's a kiss for the booboo, and general smootchies and hugs.
Do I need to mention the usual bonus good Karma points have been deposited??? ;) Blonde1 -- j Spammers Beware: Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again! -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
