The computer does not print over the network. That is strange. To print over the network, you need to have a network printer configured. Cups I've restarted. ok.

This way it makes use of the dev-libs/libusb user space tool which replaces kernel usb printer support (CONFIG_USB_PRINTER). In case of problems you can disable the usb USE flag for net-print/cups and activate the kernel functionality again.

Anyway, I can print again, which makes me much happier. Thanks for the help!

Have only tried CONFIG_HID_ROCCAT but this did not help. Will give the others a go. Not quite sure why older kernels would recognise keyboard but .39 kernel does not and .38 I have issues with when plugging in usb stick. Are the kernel guys trying to make the hardware support more specific? Or should any keyboard be recognised?

Got to loogn prompt but could not write and no sysreq. Went to work and borrowed an old keyboard with old style attchement (can't remember what these are called but they have purple ends - serial ps/2??) No issues with any version of any kernels plugging in usb sticks. Include gentoo and vanilla. I have a roccat keyboard (which I guess is fairly exotic). This is somehow causing the problem. How I'm not sure. Using a standard keybaord and no problem. So if anyone comes across this problem I recommend try a nother keyboard. Will try studying all options in kernel to see if I can cure this. There are roccat options but these are for macros and don't help. But there maybe more other subtle ones available.

Best regards, mcc Thanks mmc, CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ and CONFIG_USB_DEBUG set to y When I plug in USB device SYSREQ does not work. I have tested when system is normal and all ok with SYSREQ so USB device is locking up system completely. I have put sync in mount table but when device is inserted error log is not being produced (in /var/log/messages, etc). I may end up having to take a photo of error log(lol). Or there maybe some other way of catching error which Gentoo gurus may advise. I have tried 3 memory sticks and they all lock system up. These work on another PC using Arch and work on this PC dual booting with Windows. I have a usb hard drive which works ok so it is a memory stick only issue Hmmm. Hi John, if sysreq does not work after inserting the usbstick then the kernel stops working completly (the sysreq-code of the kernel is not entered), which seems to be that something happening on very low level (the problem not the sysreq-code of course... ;) Just another shot into the dark: Do you have modularized all usb-related stuff? This also may help to let the usb-sticks work correctly. Ah! Another thing: Insert the related modules into /etc/conf.d/modules so that they get loaded in a very early phase of the bootprocess. With modules loaded and with no usb-sticks as root inspect the according modules with modinfo -p modulename to see, whether there a additional parameters you may pass to the modules to get an extra of informations or - better - to fix the issue. Modify under Kernel hacking in the kernel config the Default message log level to see more. Furthermore there is a switch Kernel debugging with sub-options. May be turning on these may also help to get closer to all evil ;) Last thing: If there is nothing valueable stored on the usbsticks: Try to reformat the usbsticks. Instead of putting a FAT32-fs on the bare device, create a regular partition and create a Linux-fs (reiserfs, ext2/3/4 or like that) on that partition. This may not be good idea in general, but - if it works - this would give a hint, where to search next. Good luck! Best regards, mcc Thanks Meino, Have recompliled USB as modules (ehci-hcd, ohci-hcd and usb-storage and load with /etc/conf.d/modules but still locks ups. Hope these are the right ones. I'll try scsi next. Also tried fdisk Linux file system and format ext3. But all to no avail. Still locking up. Have configure kernel hacking options as suggested. Error message as follows:- Bug: unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at 0048 IP
