USB Help!

[Clay Jackson]

Since no one else has replied.....

A few updates - I just posted a repeatable bug that occurs when I have a
SANDISK Card Reader plugged in at boot time.  The SCSI subsystem
crashes, and panics the kernel.   Turns out, if I do a MANUAL 'modprobe
usb_controller' after a complete boot, I can see my usb controller and
everything attached to it.

Oh, well - I was a RedHat user since 5.1; switched to SUSE when FC1
bombed, and have now been trying FC3 for a while. I LIKE the more 'open'
interfaces, the amount of traffic on the mailing lists, the fact that
Fedora's a much more 'vanilla' kernel (so that when I WANT to hack
things I can w/o learning German :-) ), and the fact that Fedora seems a
bit more up-to-date than SUSE; BUT, SUSE JUST WORKS, and I don't have
the time or inclination to do distro munging/debugging as a full-time
deal.  So, it's probably back to SUSE for me........
