I'm having trouble with most, but not all, USB devices. I have a Dazzle multiformat card which works with CF cards but not SD cards, which is what I really want.
However, if I try "fdisk -l /dev/sda", or "cdrecord -scanbus", or "mount /dev/ sda1", those programs just hang indefinitely. I can't kill -9 it, but if I kill -9 the shell, it dies.
Try fdisk -l without specifying /dev/sda. My Smartmedia card comes up as sdb1, so I assume each slot would be sdX, not all a. This would explain the hanging, as it tries to read sda when it is empty.
Same thing. Also tried parted, which just hangs, too.
I tried something new, to see if it would work: I unplugged all USB devices, even my UPS, stopped apcupsd, and tried fdisk -l and cdrecord -scanbus. Both still hung, even with no USB devices. Very curious. I'm willing to do any legwork I can, but I could use some pointers on where to look. Next I'm going to try unloading and loading the USB modules, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD -o) -o) DKK D /\\ Geeky By Nature /\\ DK KD _\_v_ _\_v_ DDDD ---- Linux By Choice ----
