I am running the latest stable kernel update: kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 I am also running the latest stable update of hotplug: hotplug-2004_04_01-8.1 As I mentioned, I was running both of these when I sent my last message. Also, my problem is that my devices dissappear, not that they are not detected. If I unplug a device that has "dissappeared" and plug it into a different USB2 port, it is immediately detected. Also, if I unplug a device and plug it back into the same port (I've only tried that after waiting a few minutes), the device magically reappears. I can't remember though if the device is actually functional. Also, I am now running a PCI USB2 card, and I've been using the burner successfully ever since. I just tried to use our scanner while it was plugged into that PCI USB2 card, and I ended up having to reboot about five times. When I plugged it back into one of the front USB2 ports on our machine (this port is connected directly to the mainboard instead of being a PCI card) the strangest thing happened: I could finally scan without the scanner hanging. I hate to do it, but I think I will take the scanner to a machine that I have access to that runs Windows XP. I will see how it behaves... If there is a development or testing kernel or hotplug RPM that you think I should try, please let me know. Again, our devices get detected and re-detected just fine, the problem is that they just dissappear.... Steven P. Ulrick
