I tried to restart it and it would stop and give me: Nov 2 21:53:36 brutus kernel: usb.c: deregistering driver usbscanner in /var/log/messages. Normal. On the start, though, I would get: Nov 2 21:53:50 brutus /etc/hotplug/usb.rc[6518]: loaded HCD: usb-uhci Nov 2 21:53:50 brutus kernel: uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1 Nov 2 21:53:51 brutus kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner Nov 2 21:53:51 brutus kernel: scanner.c: USB scanner device (0x04b8/0x0110) now attached to scanner0 Nov 2 21:53:51 brutus kernel: scanner.c: 0.4.10:USB Scanner Driver Nov 2 21:53:51 brutus insmod: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-athlon/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o Nov 2 21:53:51 brutus insmod: Symbol version prefix '' Nov 2 21:53:55 brutus kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice which looks innocuous, but on the commandline from issuing the start I got a fail. Perhaps this is something that is best run at system start time? But I would guess that it is dying at system start, too. It's been over 65 days since a reboot, and at the time I didn't care if I could hotplug. As long as the scanner would work (which isn't hotplugged) I was happy. Actually, though, I use a KVM and a USB keybaord, so I am hotplugging that all the time. Though sometimes it seems to get confused and I have to manually rmmod and modprobe the usb-uhci module to get the keyboard recognized again. Something about the device not accepting the id it's given...
