Remove the pen drive. 2. Open a *wide* xterm window. 3. # rmmod usb-storage 4. # tail -f /var/log/messages 5. Insert pen drive 6. wait about 20-25. seconds. 7. Ctrl-C the "tail" command Look at the contents of /var/log/messages from the time you inserted the pen drive until the time the kernel stopped spitting out messages. Paste all those lines into a temp file and attach it to your reply to this email. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
