Thanks. I did a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and the file wasn't found. Me thinks when I had my power outages, the kernel got a little wacked, and I have also had a lot of problems with sound. I have never compiled a kernel bvefore, and the problem is, I have a very slow dial-up (around 19 k), and the download bogs down before I can finish. (I tried to get the latest stable Suse kernel when I discovered this). Sigh. Can I "copy" my 2.4.10 or what ever version it is from my Suse disks? do I need to compile it then? Thanks for your help.

I did as you said, and opened /var/log/messages in Advanced editor so I could search.
Searching for USB, there is nothing in the file. Does this mean my system no longer sees the USB ports? How can I check this?
Go right to the heart of the matter with "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices".
Here is mine...

Each T line shows either a hub or device. Scanning it, you can see that I only have one device connected right now, a Logitech USB Optical Mouse (a damn fine mouse I might add).
If you want to decode the whole thing and have the kernel source installed, look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt.
