I am forced to use Hardy with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (later kernel versions result in no sound and/or no suspend/hibernate despite my best efforts so far). I confirm that I have an issue with mounting USB devices as well. I have a Dell Dimension 4700 with BIOS Rev. A10. Plugging in a Logitech USB mouse always works. Any external USB hard disks are mounted only if they are connected and turned on when the system starts up. But:
1. Plugging in external USB hard disks after system start-up results in very brief activity of the internal hard disk, as if the system notices something, but then nothing happens: no icon on the desktop or in My Computer. 2. Plugging in a camera via USB opens up f-spot manager, sometimes it asks about importing photos, sometimes it asks me to confirm the camera model (Canon SD 700 IS, which it calls Canon IXUS 800, I think), but in any event it always errors out with "Error connecting to camera. Received error 'Could not claim USB device' while connecting to camera" . 3. Plugging in an SD card via a USB card reader produces no results -- all of the USB card reader slots are shown as "unable to mount" or "media empty -- format?" despite the card being full of data. There are no USB problems when I boot the same computer into Windows XP (MCE, SP2) -- except that Windows had somehow lost the "Safe Removal" icon, so I need to shut down Windows full or or restart it to unmount any external USB storage devices. Mounting properly unmounted devices back in Hardy with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic only works for external USB hard disks, and only when they are already plugged in and turned on at start-up. lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:c01a Logitech, Inc.
