Hi, I have a USB pen drive and would like to use it under Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4.22-4mdk (the standard Mandrake 9.2 kernel). I could make it work perfectly under Mandrare 10.0 CE just using the option noacpi as a boot parameter, but if I try it under 9.2 I get an error (the system cannot load uhci and ohci, so no USB support is given). I tried acpi=off and pci=noacpi. They give no error and my USB modem works perfectly, still I cannot use my pen when I plug it in. Actually if I type lsusb I get nothing concerning it, but only:
