Hi Alan, Nope. It's not working. I had assumed that the missing syslog lines were an indication of that fact. Any how, as a bit more info, "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" hangs. ps indicates it's in "D+" state: F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 1000 3685 10810 18 0 1640 476 text.l D+ pts14 0:00 cat /proc/bus/usb/devices Also, mount doesn't show the device. I've attached some info from /sys/usb/... What other info would be useful for you? I remember hearing of a way to put the usb modules into verbose (debug) mode, but I don't recall the details. Can you aid me? Thanks.
