It's fairly easy to tell: boot with a Knoppix or other LiveCD and see if USB works. Debian USB support (at least in Testing) continues to be unreliable. Just Thursday I plugged in my own removable hard drive, which worked fine as /dev/sde. I removed it, used it on another box, then plugged it back in to transfer files ... and no detection, no /dev/sde existed, and no messages in /var/log/messages when I plugged or unplugged it. I tried restarting udev, and even rmmod'ed all USB related modules and re-modprobed them, and it still won't detect the drive. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read my blog at nitpickingblog.blogspot.com.
