As an update to this....
I just did an apt-get upgrade this morning and a new hotplug package version was installed. I was booted into the 2.6.8 kernel at the time and decided to do an "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart". Wonder of wonders! With the new version of hotplug it restarted successfully and loaded both my printer and scanner.
I thought that was great so I rebooted to see if this would work from at boot time and my system hung again. After I had to hit the manual reset switch to get out of that I couldn't restart hotplug at all after booting into the system. I figured it got corrupted because of just having to power off the system so I uninstalled it, rebooted to completely reset the system environment, reinstalled hotplug, and once again my printer and scanner are working under the 2.6.8 kernel. Sure wish I could boot up with them installed but at least I can use them with this kernel now.
encouraging, but I'll wait till it Just Works(r) <g>. In a similar vein, I have to restart cups if my parallel printer is turned on before boot; my camera (Canon A75), which worked perfectly a week ago, is MIA- lsusb sees it, ghoto2 feigns ignorance. Thank goodness for weekends...
BTW, are you using a usb keyboard? the "send message" key seems to be stuck <ducking>
LOL. I figured I would get some grief over that one.
When I was trying to send the message Thunderbird kept the little pop-up box open that says "connecting" and never showed that it had connected to the mail server. I canceled out of a couple of the hangs and tried again. I quit trying to send after what I thought were 3 failed attempts to connect to the mail server and just figured I would send it later. (Every once in a while I have problems connecting to my ISP's mail server and that's what I thought was happening.)
When I saw the messages in the list I couldn't believe it. Don't have a clue as to what went wrong. I've never had an email client send a message before it showed that it was connected to the mail server.
