Any ideas of how > to work around this problem? So it worked before. What changed? New packages installed? Config changes? Unless the cause is "solar spots" or wear-and-tear, something must have changed on the PC side of things... > PS.

But then I'd expect more entries in the system log that says something along the lines of localhost kernel: usb-4-2: USB disconnect, address 28 Anything like that in the log? If so, then the entries BETWEEN the two sets might reveal some interesting information... Does this happen regardless of which USB pen drive you try? If it only happens for a certain pen drive, I'd suspect faulty "penware".. -- Karl E.
