USB and OHCI-HCD builtin (required for ps/2 mouse - no idea why) USB-storage as a module with all devices selected. insert a card, modprobe usb-storage. lsmod shows usb-storage with 0 usage ls /dev shows sda and sda1 mount returns "no media found" remove card, modprobe -r usb-storage get "kernel cannot handle paging request" from process drakupdate-fsta lsmod shows nothing ls /dev shows no sda or sda1 insert card, modprobe usb-storage lsmod shows usb-storage with usage 0 ls /dev shows sda and sda1 mount spews hundreds of lines of debug messages, but appears to mount the card. ls /mnt/disk shows the contents of the card umount hangs lsmod in another term hangs ls /dev hangs rmmod -f usb-storage unloads usb-storage ls /dev doesn't hang (except the one that was already hung) lsmod hangs modprobe usb-storage hangs I guess at this point I've totally mangled things and reboot. These steps always work the same way. I can also cause modprobe and lsmod to hang by doing modprobe usb-storage rmmod usb-storage a few times Any hints on what I should be REALLY doing to be able to read more than one card per boot? hotplug doesn't work at all - Mandrake's initscripts only work if everything is a module. -- Murray J.
