hello,

running on debian sarge
custom kernel 2.6.5
ibm thinkpad t41p

alright, well everything worked fine, i had an usbstick and an external HD working fine with usb2.0 (ehci-hcd). auto mounted with my fstab....

wanted to install a new kernel 2.6.10 cause i want to connect my iPod and forgot to add HFS support....
well did compile the new kernel, did a new lilo entry and booted and realized that my USB drive couldnt be mounted anymore.

so rebooted into the old kernel 2.6.5, where everything worked before, and couldnt mount my USB devices anymore.

fdisk -l now only sees my harddisk but not my usb device anymore,
cdrecord --scanbus does see my usb device

home/gerard# fdisk -l

shit, i thought i'd be on the save side when i compile a new kernel to try something, what can cause something like this? anybody?


thanks

G

p.s. the USB devices worked just fine minutes ago, so it is not a problem of the partition or the partitiontable...

hello,

stumbled across usbmgr with apt-cache search, installed it and now everything works like a charm again...

alright, would still be interested why it worked before and after compiling the kernel 2.6.10 it didnt work anymore..

thanks

G
