This may be no help at all, but I had a problem with Etch detecting an
external CDROM when it went through a USB hub. Connected directly to the USB
port in the laptop, it was detected and recognised.

Religion is not to go to God by forsaking the world but to find Him in it. Our
faith is to believe in our essential oneness with Him. "God is in us and we
in Him" must be made the most fundamental faith of all religions. -----------
