[06-29-03 23:57]: [snip ...] After I couldn't get my Dig Camera to work with SuSE I decided to buy a cardreader. It is a Belkin USB media reader with slots for 8 different cards. So far so good.
I connected it and it came up somewhere ( cannot remember where) as a compact flash reader. However for some reason I had to restart my computer and now it ( the computer) doesn't start anymore.
You say nothing specific about your equipment or version of SuSE, so you force guestimation.
Ok. Sorry about that. Using SuSe 8.2 with a 1GHZ Intel CPU, 40GB HDD and 512 RAM
Since your system started properly before you plugged-in the card-reader, unplug the card-reader until your system is booted, then plug-in the card-reader.
I have done that but it means that I have to unplug the reader every time I want to restart the computer. I think that cannot be right, there must be a reason for that.
ps, you might have to do the same with your printer.
The printer works just fine . Also no problems when i start the computer.
I would guess that your computer power supply is deficient and the extra load from powering the usb devices is too much at boot time.
When I unplug the printer and plug-in ONLY the cardreader the computer still hangs.Ii won't start with the cardreader plugged in. BTW do you know if a card reader is recognized by the computer as a scanner? I think I saw somewhere that it is not possible to connect two scanners? My printer has a scanner . Thanks very much for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.
