it is not unique to your workstation. My CentOS 4.3 behaves exactly the same, but when it happens I manage to mount manually the CF using mkdir /media/usbdisk mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk and it works. or you could unload the usb modules and modprobe then again instead of reboot :-) Cheers !3runo _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
