Do any other of your usb devices work? Is it just the flash drive? Is the flash drive in your /etc/fstab file? Is automout failing to mount it correctly and then leaving a stale mount floating on you system preventing you from using it anymore till a reboot? I know its been a while, but I have a different mainboard and am not having a problem with my flash drive. (...but mind you I have 3 usb hubs and about 10devices that run usb..) -ROboticGolem On Wed, 4 Aug 2004 17:39:15 -0600, Charles Curley <charlescurley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 04, 2004 at 12:27:22PM +0200, Renier Lotter wrote: > > I have a MSI K7-Delta Motherboard with an n-Force 2 > > chipset.
