It seems to me that things go wrong very early, already before udev is involved. Unfortunately I do not know what or where this "configuration" is supposed to be.

What do you get with "lsusb" when the pen drive is plugged in? Maybe you need to "update-usbids" to have the device identified correctly. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
