[me] > No luck. I plugged in a USB stick and now the screen and keyboard are frozen. Reboot with USB stick plugged in: now I get a long pause immediately after "md: raid1 personality registered for level 1" I look in dmesg for a usb-storage device: nothing. I look for /dev/sd[a-z]*: nothing So I can't mount the memory stick to capture dmesg output and I cant put it to the hard drive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
