I meant going into "single-user mode/failsafe" alternatively you could boot into falisafe and try connecting the device in there. > > > Installing 2.4 was bound to give you problems, especially in > > respect to certain modules 2.6 has. > > It certainly did. > > > Going into mcc and disabling udev as well as enabling devfs "at > > boot" in the <system> <services> department is what might resolv > > something. > > well, I don't have devfs.
