I tried connecting a USB hub into the single USB of the Sheeva PLUG and then plugging a hard drive into the hub. The PLUG is able to boot using the USB hard drive but plugging anything else into the USB hub disrupts everything. Debian must not coordinate adding additional USB devices without disrupting the first device, probably changing the existing device's reference point within the OS. The SheevaPlug's PSU is a bit dodgy, and I've heard persistent rumours that the USB chipset is also a bit dodgy --- certainly, my device (which has been running continuously for years) occasionally loses a USB device and has to be rebooted. Is your USB hub powered? If not, it's worth getting one and seeing if that helps. -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "There is nothing in the world so dangerous --- and I mean *nothing* │ --- as a children's story that happens to be true." --- Master Li Kao, │ _The Bridge of Birds_
