The u: devalias only applies to USB 2.0 mass storage devices. disk: applies to either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 mass storage devices, whichever is present. USB keyboards are almost always USB 1.1 devices. I wonder if your USB stick is a USB 1.1 device, or perhaps it is plugged into a USB 1.1 hub, or perhaps the presence of the keyboard is causing the stick to be detected in USB 1.1 mode. I don't have a fully-formed explanation for your problems, but those are my preliminary thoughts. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
