What happens if you try > mounting /dev/sda1 somewhere? Yes, Its getting further... I can now mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/flash (or wathever) when I have the ACPI=off. I tryed to make the ACPI=noirq. Then the I rebooted, and the computer hang, right after the graphical boot said: setting hostname (or something.. I have norwegian text on it) Also the my usb mouse dident work during this startup (it normaly does work). I then had to edit the kernel parameter from grub to make it boot. I also has a Apacer handy steno 1.1 256mb disk, i was also able to make this work with the ACPI=off. The only thing here is that the Apacer stick is /dev/sda, even if only this stick is in the usb port. Why does 1 of them use /dev/sda, when the other comes in as /dev/sda1 ? I've added both of them to /etc/fstab as: /dev/sda /mnt/flash vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash2 vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 Is this the correct way to do it? and if I set it to auto instead of noauto, will it then automaticly mount when I insert it? Also, how can I disable the graphical boot to see wats going on when the hangs during the boot? James was also earlyer talking about maby making a bugzilla entry about this.. Is this problem something to add to bugzilla, and if so.. how? Many thanx for all the good help James!! THT
