Try the knoppix boot on the laptops also. If it sees them then at least you dont need repairs. CWSIV On Thu, 2004-03-25 at 16:44, Sid Boyce wrote:

<SNIP> Re-installing is not a real proposition, but I will try rebooting with the rescue disk although I don't see what it could find any different to
what was generated by doing the 'tail -f' command suggested by Joe.
I really don't understand this hassle because USB 2 has been around since, what 2001, and Linus put support for it into the kernel and released it in January 2002 (!) in version 2.5.2 - so there has been enough time to incorporate any work-arounds into the current kernel in
Suse. Most frustrating.
I was having problems on 3 boxes, 1 SuSE 9.0 machine, 1 32-bit laptop and a 64-bit laptop with 9.0 64-bit. The 64-bit laptop saw it once after plugin, later after reboot, it's not seen it again, the 32-bit laptop sees it but cannot do anything with it. After building a new kernel which failed to boot, I rebooted the old 2.6.5-rc1-mm2 on the XP2200+ tower and it was there, I've created an ext2 filesystem on it and have copied files across. I've been able to umount and mount it again, but the laptops still do not recognise it, I shall see what happens when I reboot them with it connected. Regards Sid.
