It *only* gets assigned to /dev/sg1? On my machine, when I just tried plugging in my USB drive, it gets assigned to *both* /dev/sda and /dev/sg0. Does dmesg say anything useful? How do you know it's recognized as device sdb if there's no /dev/sdb? -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
