Here's my reasoning: I booted up Slax 6.01 which also has the 2.6.24 kernel. No probs whatsoever. Plug in flash drive and unplug, no problem. Works perfect. No freeze up. I looked over the udev rules, they all look the same to me. If it works for one, shouldn't it work for the other? It definitely rules out hardware failure. Here's messages for plug-in and un-plug for pen drive: Jun 21 18:16:38 (none) kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Jun 21 18:16:52 (none) kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Jun 21 18:16:52 (none) kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jun 21 18:16:52 (none) kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jun 21 18:16:57 (none) kernel: scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB 2.0 Flash Disk 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS Jun 21 18:16:57 (none) kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 7928832 512-byte hardware sectors (4060 MB) Jun 21 18:16:57 (none) kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jun 21 18:16:57 (none) kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 7928832 512-byte hardware sectors (4060 MB) Jun 21 18:16:57 (none) kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jun 21 18:16:58 (none) kernel: sdb: sdb1 Jun 21 18:16:58 (none) kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk ......soooo, this i810 chipset is treating it like a scsi, which is not unusual. Also, I couldn't install 12.1 on my scsi hdd box. Would freeze solid half way through basic tmp kernel boot. So, looks like my downloaded 12.1 disc may be corrupted. Sound logical? nb

I recently installed Slackware 12.1 on a new laptop for my daughter, bought without an operating system, if I remember correctly it reports the hard drive as being SCSI (dev/sda2), and I had problems with the official Slackware 12.1 DVD in that booting from it only got as far as the first line, hung for some considerable time and then reported <boot failed hit any key to retry>, I didn't make a note of the exact words. Like you I then tried a Slax CD which did boot, I tried a number of 'Cover disk' CD's and DVD's with mixed results. I then having had some success in getting it to boot, tried home made Slackware 12.1 CD's these successfully installed 12.1. I arrived at the conclusion that it seemed to be a proble with either the Disk Drive or the Media, with the disk drive being the most likely, as the 'Official' Slackware DVD, (I have a subscription), installed perfectly on my Destop PC. Whether this is of any interest or help I'm not sure, I'm just reporting my experience of Thursday night, and yesterday. -- Two Ravens "...hit the squirrel..."
