Hi Last night 'lsusb' command gave me a headache. I have been using SuSE 9.2 (stock kernel, YOU - nothing special) for months. After entering (almost by accident) 'lsusb' my older Acer Power SC computer stuck - crashed completely. To be as short as possible: lsusb - crashes computer lsdev - OK usbview - OK sane-find-scanner - I have to plug off my box hwscan --usb - gives me nothing (at least the crash does not occur) If I enter 'lsusb' remotely (via ssh) then it works, but 'sane-find-scanner' (also via ssh) freezes my box. Then I decided to plug in USB mouse and USB keyboard instead of PS/2 ones. It works. Then I tried my Sony DSC-P72. Again no problem. USB is working. The ' cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' reveals all. I have tried 'noapic, acpi=off'. In BIOS I switched 'USB legacy mode'. Always the same sad story. At work I have repeated the same steps on the same model and with SuSE 9.2. The system froze. With SuSE 9.0 on the same model everything is working. With newer Acer model (Power F1), 'lsusb' works. Well it is time to give 9.3 a try. Once upon a time there was a SuSE sentence 'Have a fun'. Does anybody has just a little clue (not to mention that W2K are OK as far as USB is concerned) ?? Regards Zvone Zagar

I have just finished installing 9.3. It makes no difference. The 'lsusb' command still freezes tho whole box. I tried to install a BENQ scanner (S2W 3300w). I only succeeded with the of YAST2 under KDE. In level 3 YaST2 and the bloody machine die.The same happens with the whole set of programs accessing the scanner (xsane, kooka - the USB issue). This is no more 'fun' as it has been for so many years. Regards Zvone Zagar

Hi . Are you certain the scanner is OK ,? I have a benq scanner S2W 3300U which was perfect for ages then it started crashing the machine when i tried to use it i tried the scanner on a friends windBloZe box to find it is completely frelled and can windBloZe as well .. may be worth a check ..

Hi, Thanks for answering my plea. My problem started when I happened to issue 'lsmod' without any USB device attached to my PC. During the night I installed SuSE 9.0 and everything works as it has been working for years (including the scanner). But this morning I have discovered where the trouble could come from. I stopped 'resmgr' and since than 'lsusb' and its fellows work. Well, now I must cope with another problem. But at least I know the source of problems . Regards Zvone Z.
