I too use F7 on each device - at this point, one must wonder what it is
that either Karl is doing wrong OR, what type/old is the hardware?
It's just odd (to me at least) that nearly-everything Karl seems to do
- fails.
That doesn't seem to be a fair summary. In Bugzilla for example
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249161
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249282
Plenty of folks are having the same problem. It's not Karl's fault that
there are problems in the kernel right now.
BTW on that last bugzilla, they recommend trying udev-113-8.fc7 to fix
the problem: I was able to get this with
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update udev

Confusion reigns. Both the bugzillas above are about kernel-2.6.22-27
and Karl is complaining about kernel-2.6.22-42.
My memory stick automounts on the latter so there must be a presumption
that the problem lies in the hardware used assuming no odd software
installations of udev are involved.
It is hard to believe that sticking the memory stick into the port could
be done incorrectly, but who knows.
I am mad that some think I am so STUPID that for 6 months I have used
my memory stick with the old kernel, and stuck it in wrong when I first
used the new kernel. Jeeze you IDIOTS! Grow up.
What I was going to do is explain what happened this morning. I got not
the 44 but the 41 kernel when I tried to get the 44. I guess yum could
not find the 44 and did the best it could. So I rebooted to the 41
kernel and sure enough it will not work with a USB device. But I tried a
memory stick that you plug into the proper slot and it worked perfect!
So what I have is a cheap thing about the size of a floppy drive at the
front panel which plugs into one of the two USB things on the mother
board. It has 5 slots for various memeory sticks from camera and cell
phone and other things. With this kernel (41) the 5 slots work but the
one USB on this devise does not work.
I am sure there is something not quite right with my computer. But for
sure with the old kernel it DID WORK.
