I still get that device not responding (error=-84). If I understand your patch, disabling hotplug and loading usb-storage manually shoud work. It isn't. Actually I believe that it never got to call hotplug. usbview does not see the device. I forgot to say. On one of those computers where I do the testing I have a USB mouse - which is working just fine. -- Itai On Thursday 14 March 2002 23:25 pm, Greg KH wrote: > On Thu, Mar 14, 2002 at 04:32:09PM +0200, Itai Nahshon wrote: > > I have used usb-storage with stock redhat kernels for some times.
