Just in case that complex question was directed at me:... I posted upthread somewhere the following: On my machine where Vmware detects usb devices properly it only started working after applying this kernel: Quote:................. Uname -ar reports: Linux gotroot 2.6.18.8-0.2-default #1 SMP Fri Mar 23 19:38:30 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I also have this line in my /etc/fstab to make sure usb stuff gets loaded at boot time: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devgid=100,devmode=0640,busgid=100,busmode=0550,listgid=100,listmode=0440 0 0 (above three lines are all one line) This kernel was produced by Andres Jaeger of SuSE while fixing a boot loader problem and he threw in the usbfs restoration as a side incentive to get people to test the boot loader. This is the directory at suse where this was installed from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.2-bootloader-test Perhaps you can dredge up Andres email from the list and ask him about this. ------------end-quote So that's all I really know about it. Works for me after applying the kernel from the directory specified. Just added it as a repository. Apologies to to AJ for mangling the spelling of his name -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
