Thanks. I looked for any error messages and there are none. When looking at lsmod I can't find any USB modules, so could this be a problem with the install? Is it possible to load the USB modules without reinstalling from scratch?
try removing - adding and see with dmesg what it says
it should look something like this :
<code>
ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4: remove, state 1
usb usb1: USB disconnect, address 1
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2
ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4: USB bus 1 deregistered

ofcourse i am assuming you are having problems with more then just an usb-stick not showing up as you said none of your usb devices work (tried a mouse?)
Hi, again. I successfully removed the USB module using the 'rmmod' command. However I'm having trouble find the module to reinstall it it with as I can't get to the module through the terminal, I get a 'no such file or directory' when I try
'cd lib/modules/2.6.28-6-386/kernal/drivers/usb' even though the file system shows these files. It thinks its the 'kernal' doc thats not letting me through.
