"Loading module 'sd_mod' for 'SCSI disk support'... typing 'ps ax' on VC2 tells me: ..... .....S /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/cdrom-detect.postinst conf .....S /bin/sh /bin/hw-detect cdrom-detect/detect_progress_t .....SW [scsi-eh_0] .....SW [scsi-eh_1] .....SW [usb-storage-0] .....SW [scsi-eh_2] .....S modprobe -v sd_mod .....S sh -c insmod sd_mod .....D insmod sd_mod .....R ps ax This box has a built-in multi-cardreader on USB. I meanwhile found out that, on the 2.6 system, this seemed unable to read my CF card (or I don't know how 2.6 is supposed to handle this, at least 'dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null count=4' returns "reading `/dev/sdb': input/output error").
