Usb + Notebook + 10.3

I've noticed that openSuSE 10.3 doesn't recognize my usb on my HP Pavilion lappie. I recall that 10.2 did and I know they switched to some new SATA drivers moving from 10.2 to 10.3. My thumb drive, my external usb drive don't get recognized, and a mouse only gets recognized if I reboot after plugging it into the USB port.

Plug in a usb device (eg memory stick) and report the dmesg results. Also, try mounting the device manually, and see if that works ok. Lets see how that goes. I have read of policykit issues causing problems like this for many users.

Edit: Typo

Is dmesg a file in /etc? Or do I open a su console and type dmesg? :unsure: Patti :lol:

EDIT: Sony Micro Vault Tiny 2GB plugged in... no response from system.

(Tried to mount it after the dmesg below:
PattiLinuxLaptop:/home/patti # mount /dev/sdb1 /OSS/MicroVault
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
PattiLinuxLaptop:/home/patti #
I only have one SATA hard drive, sda, on my lappie)

Su'd dmesg
PattiLinuxLaptop:/home/patti # dmesg

Assuming it is an issue with policykit, try logging in as root, and see if the usb device automounts ok. I have seen some 'fixes' if this is the case.

Another possibility is that your fstab contains an entry preventing automounting. Check with 'cat /etc/fstab' just to make sure. Post the output if you need to.

Maybe some other users can offer additional support here...

I think this is a laptop issue. I'll check the other threads...

Sorry I've been gone - both computers down and it took all weekend to get my laptop back up and running. Still same issue - USB things (printer, hard drive, USB mem stick) just not detected. I tried logging in a root, but still no detection.
