[OT] tech USB problem on Lenny

[Lisi Reisz <lisi.reisz@gmail.com>]

If I plug a USB item (key, card, camera) into the box and try to mount it, I 
get the following error message:

The processor is a Pentium III Coppermine, speed quoted by KDE Infocenter as 
697.684 MHz , so probably 700 MHz.  Running a freshly installed Lenny.  
Motherboard is an Intel D815EEA

The USB is a 4 port card, probably PCI.

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

All suggestions very gratefully received.

Thanks,
Lisi
