On most machines running FC2 a usb disk (flash type, or external harddisk) just shows up when plugged in, but so far I have found on a couple of machines that nothing happens. No entries in the logs when the device gets plugged in, nothing in /proc/bus/usb/devices, and it makes no difference whether the usb disk is present at boot time or plugged in later. So far I have determined the following: - when FC1 was installed on these computers, usb disks worked without problems - the USB mouse is working also - USB modules are loaded - no changes in /proc/bus/usb/ or /sys/bus/usb when the device is plugged in or removed Does anyone have a suggestion what can be the problem on those computers? It looks like the kernel doesn't see the hotplug event on those systems. David Jansen
