Hi Vi, thank you for your post. I did what you said above and rebooted. Some things are better - new behaviour as follows: -- light permanently on as before. -- on insertion of a memory stick, the new log entries posted below are added. -- not much else happens.
Where should I be looking/what commands should I run to find the inserted memory stick? Oh yes, I'm running proposed updates now so uname -a = "Linux wideboy 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" Thanks Log entries on insert/removal of mem stick... * kern.log has new lines: Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.568847] tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:1 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569496] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: memstick_check started Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569513] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: executing TPC 8004, 6c17 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569525] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: data event: fifo_status 8, host_status 4020, flags 0 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569531] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: fifo data transfer, 4, 0 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569540] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: fifo data transfer, 0 remaining Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569555] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: host event: host_status 1020, flags 2 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569565] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: TPC complete Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569837] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: executing TPC 4004, 6c17 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569848] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: data event: fifo_status 8, host_status 5000, flags 0 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569854] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: fifo data transfer, 4, 0 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569863] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: fifo data transfer, 0 remaining Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569870] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: host event: host_status 1020, flags 2 Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569880] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: TPC complete Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569884] memstick memstick0: if_mode = ff Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569890] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: new card ff, ff, ff Jul 2 00:20:54 wideboy kernel: [ 699.569933] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:1: memstick_check finished ... then I removed it ...
