Fairly recent SuSE 9.0 Pro install, Asus A7V8X motherboard, Athlon 2400+ CPU. The motherboard has six USB2.0 ports and three firewire ports. I'm having trouble with most, but not all, USB devices. I have a Dazzle multiformat card which works with CF cards but not SD cards, which is what I really want. I also have a Sandisk Cruzer 256MN USB thumb drive, and a external USB2.0 IDE enclosure. Both devices work on a Red Hat 9 box I have, and under Windows. The strange thing is that the devices are seen on the USB bus, but I can't access them, no matter how I try.

By multiformat I assume you mean multiple slots. I use a 6-1 card reader.

Try fdisk -l without specifying /dev/sda. My Smartmedia card comes up as sdb1, so I assume each slot would be sdX, not all a. This would explain the hanging, as it tries to read sda when it is empty.
I've also tried turning off ACPI in grub,
Since it seems to be a rather new mainboard, I would think acpi should work properly.
and disabling as much on-motherboard hardware as possible. I don't know why it says radeon@PCI:1:0:0, when my video card is a ATI AIW 7500 AGP card, though.
I believe the 7500 loads the radeon module. There is no AIW module.

Yes. CF, SD, MMC, etc.

Same thing. Also tried parted, which just hangs, too.

Quite new.

I wasn't surprised there was a Radeonm modile loaded, I was surprised to see "PCI" on that line, since it's an AGP card. Am I safe to assume, this would NOT be covered by SuSE's support, even though this motherboard is in their database as fully-supported? -- DDDD DK KD An optimist thinks the glass is half full.

I tried something new, to see if it would work: I unplugged all USB devices, even my UPS, stopped apcupsd, and tried fdisk -l and cdrecord -scanbus. Both still hung, even with no USB devices. Very curious. I'm willing to do any legwork I can, but I could use some pointers on where to look. Next I'm going to try unloading and loading the USB modules, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD -o) -o) DKK D /\\ Geeky By Nature /\\ DK KD _\_v_ _\_v_ DDDD ---- Linux By Choice ----
