Hi all,
A search of the Fedora lists and forums would suggest an inconsistent experience using SanDisk USB 2.0 Cruzer drives under FC3, though most posts are a month or so old now.
Some of the posts seem to indicate that turning off APIC at boot helps, while others suggest using a USB 1.x hub has worked.
I am considering the SanDisk 1.0 Gb USB 2.0 drive and am curious as to the current experience of anyone using this drive on a fully updated (including udev and kernel) FC3 system.
Should I consider one of the other companies (ie. Lexar, PNY, etc.) as an alternative?
I'm using a 256Mb USB 2.0 SandDisk Cruzer Mini on a FC3 system without any problems (BTW, tt also worked on FC2, but at that time I had to add the device ID manually so it got recognized).
I plug this pendrive directly, with ACPI on (the default), and without passing any special parameter to the kernel on boot. It worked since the first day, and it wasn't affected by any of the kernel / udev updates (my box is fully uipdated as of yesterday now)
The device is detected and mounted automagically on /media/usbdisk, and it's shown on the desktop (Gnome) as a removable USB disk.
