Make sure ohci or uhci usb drivers are loaded, and ehci if you want high speed. Also make sure usb-storage driver module is loaded. Do that with a lsmod command, Do a modprobe usb-storage if it isn't loaded. Try a lsusb command, if drivers are loaded this will list out usb devices. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
