Hello, I've upgraded from SuSE 9.0 to SuSE 9.3. I had a problem with some usb devices working on 9.0 but NO on 9.3. I happily found the reason and the fix is trivial: See whether you have in /etc/fstab the line usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 you have to change to usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 And reinit the system. After that, my Kamera Canon Ixus 400 was here again!. Hope this will help to some desperate SuSE user, like me :).

you have to change to
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 I did a fresh install of 9.3 and my fstab already has it right, as usbfs. I did a fresh install because my /home is a separate mounted file system, and I just installed 9.3 and remounted my old HOME and everything works great, even my new Epson Perfection 4180 Photo scanner works now !

This problem and its solution was already reported by some scanner users (both English and German - again many thanks!) and therefore I mentioned it here http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/03/jsmeix_scanner-setup-93.html http://portal.suse.com/sdb/de/2005/03/jsmeix_scanner-setup-93.html Feel free to point to it and/or link to it whenever you need it!
