First, thanks very much for having a look at this problem.
OK, I have looked at the "/var/log/messages" file and here are the lines
added when the USB CD-ROM drive was plugged in.:
Mar 25 11:20:45 LinuxForensics kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device
using address 2
Mar 25 11:20:47 LinuxForensics kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized
Mar 25 11:20:47 LinuxForensics kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage
driver...
Mar 25 11:20:47 LinuxForensics kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass
Storage devices
And here is the diff between the dmesg output before and after the CD was
plugged in:
261,269d260
< usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
< SCSI subsystem initialized
< Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
< scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
< usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using address 2
< scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 0 channel 0
id 0 lun 0
< USB Mass Storage device found at 2
< usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage
< USB Mass Storage support registered.
Note: I just installed Fedora Core 3 by booting from this USB CD-ROM and
then getting the packages from an FTP server, so I know this CD-ROM drive is
working OK.
Dmesg output after the USB CD-ROM was inserted:
