Usb not recognized and now 2 boot options (default and pae)

English Install/Boot/Login

**1. **At first this was one only issue. I want my suse recognize my usb ports. Because I didn’t run my pc camera, or my mp3 player , and so on.

As I know, that linux is capable of that (I have used my usb devices on suse 9.3) I decided to investigate. And I thought (I don’t know if right or wrong) that some packages may be missing.

I entered Yast, and there was some usb-xxxxx packages that were not installed. I installed them.

Now not only I continue with the usb not recognized issue, but another issue was created:

**2. **I don’t how or what I’ve done but a windows appears saying that a new kernel was created.

Before I install the usb packages my boot options were:

OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (default)
FailSafe OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (default)
Disquete

After the usb installation:

OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (default)
FailSafe OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (default)
OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (pae)
FailSafe OpenSuse 11.1 2.6.27.7-9 (pae)
Disquete

I don’t know what pae means and if it useful.
If it’s not I want to know how to delete it.

Also I want to resolve the usb problem. How my suse can recognize when a usb device is connected.

Thanks for reading this large history and thansk in advanve for your feedback.

Have you tried booting into the default, as well as booting into the pae entry?

Sounds to me as though an additional kernel was installed to your system somehow, and if USB is not working (and it was working previously) an easy solution would be to simply boot into whichever version (default or pae) was originally installed on your system.

USb was not working since I installed suse 11.1. This means USB never works with 11.1

When I choose the no-pae option, I whink he choose to login to pae option anyway. I figure that, because, When I reboot the system always show the pae as the actual kernel, no matter if you choose ir or not.

Thanks. A.
