Ok, I think I figured it out. Here's basically what I was doing... Besides my flash drive, I had a usb hard drive (Vantec NexStar 2.5" enclosure) connected to the laptop. FreeBSD was installed onto the USB hard drive, because I wanted to download the source and put just the things I needed onto the actual laptop drive. That, and I was also doing full-disk encryption using GELI, so I needed an external OS to do this work. At this point in time, I have the system running from the build-in drive, which means that I can disconnect the usb one. Guess what happens when that drive is removed? Everything works normally again. I can connect and disconnect the flash drive as many times as I want and it works every time. But as soon as I connect the Vantec enclosure, even if I don't use it, I can only connect the flash drive once. After that, we're back to the original problem. Does anyone have a guess as to why the external enclosure would cause this sort of a problem? Could it be consuming too much power (but then why is the flash drive detected the first time)? - Max _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
