. If the application is expecting to print
something on the first printer, I need the printer to be connected to
/dev/usb/lp0. But, depending on how the user configures the printers to
the computer, the correct printer may or may not be /dev/usb/lp0.
Any suggestions ?

device, mount the ramdisk (initrd) as
the root filesystem.
Once the ramdisk is mounted, you can then mount the USB device or the
hard drive.
Don't forget to add some basic commands to your ramdisk image.

Let me know if you have any questions.
I could post my USB image files if someone is interested.

This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking
from the
device, but the kernel panics because it cannot mount the root
filesystem (/dev/sda does not exist until later).
How do I force the usb filesystem in the kernel or hard link the
/dev/sda entry so / can be mounted ?

project for that matter). How would one go about getting these changes
into the next kernel ?

The only problem that I noticed with Suse 9.0 (or Linux 2.4 kernel), is
it throws away what it considers duplicate reports. My device was a USB
credit card reader. If someone swiped a card twice, the second swipe
was being tossed by the kernel. I have a patch to try
data
available to read on the file descriptor.If I bypass the select, and
just force it to go to the read statement, the read hangs (even when I
swipe the credit card while at the read statement).
This code works great in 2.4 kernel. But, it does not work in 2.6.
Please any suggestion
