Re: [newbie] Getting new hardware recognised.
Since it's a USB LS120, try unhooking it and removing the reference to it in your /etc/fstab (might want to write it down, or backup fstab, just in case this doesn't work). After removing the reference, reboot (still with the LS120 not plugged in). Once everything comes up, plug in the LS120 and see if Mandrake auto-detects it and creates the fstab entry for you. Worst case, it won't and you will have to re-add the line you removed.

If Supermount is disabled, then you would have to manually mount it. Is your usb hub powered? Some USB devices require more power than what can be delivered from the computer's USB port and need a powered hub to operate reliably. Joeb Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

No reboots, everything happens on the fly. Afterwards I reverse the above and the printer works again. HTH Pete ArdnamurchanScotland Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you have problems with USB or something try usingg the poweer supply.

[newbie] Getting new hardware recognised.
Should it be necessary to reboot to get new hardware recognised? In specific terms, in my struggle with usb devices, I have not yet got my camera recognised. If I try different usb connections, will I need a reboot? I have been assuming that I don't. If I'm wrong, I need to start again. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
