Since no one else has replied..... A few updates - I just posted a repeatable bug that occurs when I have a SANDISK Card Reader plugged in at boot time. The SCSI subsystem crashes, and panics the kernel. Turns out, if I do a MANUAL 'modprobe usb_controller' after a complete boot, I can see my usb controller and everything attached to it. Oh, well - I was a RedHat user since 5.1; switched to SUSE when FC1 bombed, and have now been trying FC3 for a while. I LIKE the more 'open' interfaces, the amount of traffic on the mailing lists, the fact that Fedora's a much more 'vanilla' kernel (so that when I WANT to hack things I can w/o learning German :-) ), and the fact that Fedora seems a bit more up-to-date than SUSE; BUT, SUSE JUST WORKS, and I don't have the time or inclination to do distro munging/debugging as a full-time deal. So, it's probably back to SUSE for me........ On Tue, 2004-12-28 at 20:53 -0800, Clay Jackson wrote: > I can't seem to get USB support working with FC3.
