A friend of mine has a problem when he inserts his memory stick, it
tends to open multiple windows. DMESG shows that the device
disconnects then reconnects automatically. He is currently running SuSE
10.2/GNome, but this has occurred with other Linux distros on his
system and with KDE. This occurs with different memory stick.
I've also had him turn off the firewall and switch to run level 3. In
run level 3, the device is stable. Here is a bit from the dmesg. I'm
looking for some ideas.
