thanks, i'll keep at it, ...too bad i'm fully updated and the problem's still here ...i'll try formattng the stick, who knows ...

yes, i tried plugging the stick before bootup ...well, i'm pretty sure it's in vfat, but funny you should meantion this, back with the 2.4.x kernels i had to format my stick into fat16 so they could work, this stick worked fine with fc3 but not now.

Well first of all, greetings. Now I know there are several usb topics over here and throughout the forum world but I've tried practicly everything and I don't seem to be able to solve my probem.I'm u sing FC4 and I got the kernel most recent kernel updates as of today. But despite the new kernel my problem pesists. Now, when I plug in a usb stick i get : Code: usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2usb 3-3: device not accepting address 2, error -110usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3usb 3-3: device not accepting address 3, error -110usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4usb 3-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110usb 3-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110usb 3-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5usb 3-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110usb 3-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110 I can understand the device not accepting the firs adresses sinc i've got a serial ata hard drive and therefore sda, sda1 and sda2 are already present. What bothers me is that there are no new device nods in /dev/ after i plug in a stick. I would expect sdb to appear....but no .....anyone, really ...I really would be most gratefull for any assistance ...
