Hey Group; Have you ever wondered were your USB HD hides? Try on SuSE 10 Beta 4 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/ then take a look at " /sbin/getcfg -d . -f hwcfg- -- /dev/sda ' The above is interesting reading. When my WD 16G HD is turned on and let come to speed there is a difference between a warmed up drive and freshly turned on drive. The warmed up and rebooted drive will mount and the freshly booted will not mount. -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage:" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316
