Further information, after a reboot the external hub and attached mouse was not detected at all. I had to disconnect and reconnect the mouse, at which point everything came to life.
I seem to remember a similar problem being reported on RC2/RC3. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 9:20 AM Subject: [Cooker] [9.0] USB Problem > Did a preliminary install of 9.0 last night (mostly to get a feel of things). Noticed that my USB mouse was not being detected on boot - its plugged into a hub, not directly into the back of my PC. When I had a look at dmesg, I spotted a line that compained that usbdevfs had invalid remount parameters (posting from work so I can't give you the precise message at the moment, I'll try to do that tonight). > > Solution was simple - I reset /etc/sysconfig/usb to load the USB modules "early" in the boot process.
