Re: usb discovery fails on initial boot
I ran this command :
# udevtrigger --verbose --subsystem-match=block --attr-match=removable=1
Output was:
/block/fd0
/block/hdc
/block/hdd
These are my floppy drive and my CD and DVD drives.
To check if I have and /dev/sd* devices I ran
ls -l /dev |grep "sd"
which I presume would do it - it produced no output
I also just looked at the output of ls -l /dev which had no sd* devices but it did have some usb entries (not sure if this is of relevance?)
orac:/# ls -l /dev |grep "usb"

I then decided to plug in another USB stick in another USB slot and reran these commands, in case this tells you something.
orac:/# ls -l /dev |grep "sd"

umounting this second stick produced the original output
