Exclamation system hangs when connecting a usb device


Hi,
I am using red hat linux 9, with AMD 2400XP and asus mother board. I have two usb devices, a webcam ( Logitech) and a printe ( Canon -S100).
when connecting any of this device, the system will goes to hang, and only "Reset button is working".
I removed my printer and install the driver for my printer ( corect driver is available in redHat 9 ), and I try to conect the printer, No luck !! again the system goes hang. All these devices works fine in Windows. Please help me!!

learnin sucks - right

all of us have been throught it, soon the initialized won't answer yr every request - their'll just direct u to the answers.

use the manual doc and websites like this and ask ask ask, until u find what ur lookin for.

any doc come wid the printer, no look it up on the net, look for drivers for linux -
many things may require that u search further for the precise answer, visit as many sites as u can for as long as it takes.

OK ras123, start up the box , make sure u unplug all the usb devices, have the system brought up, the system shld run a h/ware check (sim. to windoze), u may help it.

run as root all these comms. usbview - show all dev's hangin off the usb core. a file called modules.conf, thnk it lives under /etc/networking or something again dont expect to be spoon fed, u may have to search for it.

in modues.conf yr usb devs shld be displayed - these are currently loaded.
there ought to be a printer type conf file too , please search not sure of name and location,
probably best to use conrtol centre to search for CUPS GUI, see if it has any entries for yr printer.
