kudzu did not report its appearance (upon reboot).
It *is* plugged into the usb port. The ipod is charging. I
switched it to the
other usb port where the scanner was just removed from (and detected
on) but no
change (except that the scanner was no longer detected since it was
no longer
plugged in).
Why can I no longer even see the ipod out there? Is the seLinux of
fc3 somehow
getting in the way? (if fc3 even has seLinux)
Have you updated FC3 to the latest and greatest? A fully updated FC2
has problems with USB storage devices, and a virgin FC3 may not be
much better.
FC4 is _much_ better at handling hardware detection, including USB. I
would have recommended moving from RH9 directly to FC4.
And here is a duh! on my part: FC3 now mounts removable media at
/media/device_name.
Mounting my 1 GB SanDisk Cruzer looks like this after being
automounted in FC3:

I still have to 'mount /media/usbdisk1' to read the drive, of course.
And yes, FC3 does install SELinux by default, although I have it in
warning mode only because I don't know how to use it effectively yet.
I'm having a little bit of a problem under FC4 with USB devices too...
The first question I have though is this...
Is there a better/different way to detect the initialization of a USB
device and the /dev file it is associated with besides doing a
combination of tail/grep on dmesg or messages? Manual searching works
fine for me once I know what the device will be recognized as then doing
a grep for vendor, etc or just eyeballing a tail on messages but is that
info somewhere else together?
I don't think I have ever seen anything that tells you the stuff about
the USB device you can find out in /proc (e.g. KDE Info Center) but also
what /dev file a given USB device is associated with...
TIA,
RBW
