I just did  a reinstall of core 6.  Out of the box there is a problem
mounting usb drives.  The 2.6.18-1.2868 kernel update works well.  I did
have a problem recently when I booted to run level 3 and then used
startx to go to gui.  If I either boot to run level 5 or change from
level 3 to level 5 at the command line (telinit 5)there is no problem.
Appears to be a number of sequencing issues that happen if one uses
startx at level 3 rather than switching to run level 5.  I don't think
bug is the right term in this case but rather anomaly, I also found
other work arounds such as logging in at level 5 as root and then
logging off and logging in as user; works but not recommended.
