> >Does it show up in dmesg or /var/log/sys.log? Aha! It's mostly all that's in dmesg with a prefix that says usb- storage. It's VERY active. I do have a _little_ USB "fingernail" drive cold-plugged in back for backup use. I can try pulling that to confirm. But this seems like a problem that needs fixing. 8-(
Is something like that a udev or driver fix? > >Sometimes I see network driver messages during boot. That's why >/etc/sysconfig/rc.site was created. Try setting LOGLEVEL=4 there. The >default LOGLEVEL (5) is a little noisy. Oooh, I didn't know about "dmesg -n"! I like it! 8-) But, just personally, I don't like the idea of rc.site. If the user is expected to know about it and how to use it, then 1) (s)he can just make those changes in rc & functions, and 2) there's no reason to still have them in rc & functions--one or the other, but not both.

Particularly so for new options. I don't have time to follow all the kernel lists about things that seem to be irrelevant to my "here and now". -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
