Still hope somebody can help. ;) I tried to figure out any difference in kernel log. var/log/messages have different entries when usb storage worked and when it didn't. Alway using: kernel: Linux version 2.6.8-1.521 (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)) #1 Mon Aug 16 09:01:18 EDT 2004 ... kernel: Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=off but some entries are missing from logs when usb is not working. They are: sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 0 sysctl: kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 network: Setting network parameters: succeeded network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded These are 'early' entries in messages. Loopback log missing is strange indeed: lo is configured anyway, but it doesn't log when usb is not working. I really don't know what the first two entries mean, nor what they could be related to. Any help? These are the only differences i could find, plus one more in ntpd log: when usb is not working, ntpd gets initialized with a frequency of 24.170 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/drift - when usb is working, the frequency scales down to 16.787 PPM. Don't know if this could mean something. Hope somebody can at least tell me something about these logs. Thanks all E.
