Ok, I found out why the log was not working, here is what is in the log now: Feb 3 19:46:45 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 SNIP This continues. Feb 3 19:47:47 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 126 Feb 3 19:47:48 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 127 This has been going thru the addresses multiple times for over 30 minutes and has not been mounted yet. I guess this is the nitty gritty of the problem. I am going to try another device and see what happens. This is a self powered Sony dvd drive and video capture: Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 110 Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=01dc Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: hub 1-2:1.0: USB hub found Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: hub 1-2:1.0: 2 ports detected Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 111 Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: new device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=01de Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: Product: VRD-VC10 [Video Capture] Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: Manufacturer: Sony Feb 3 19:58:38 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 112 Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: new device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=01dd Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: new device strings: Mfr=51, Product=68, SerialNumber=56 Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: Product: VRD-VC10 [DVD Drive] Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: Manufacturer: Sony Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: SerialNumber: DEF19733280 Feb 3 19:58:41 Suse101 kernel: usb 1-2.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Feb 3 19:58:42 Suse101 kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Feb 3 19:58:42 Suse101 kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
