Most USB 2.0 stuff is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, so that's probably not the problem. There is an issue with the older udev system and USB storage. You probably need to update udev via "yum update udev". You should also be running the -41 kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Do you know how to save five drowning lawyers?
