Here is what I got after plugging in my usb stick : Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 15:19:13.715: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412 added 15:19:13.804: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412_if0 added 15:19:13.852: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412_usbraw added 15:19:18.722: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412_if0_scsi_host added 15:19:18.722: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 added 15:19:18.756: usb_device_a16_9393_0603230652412_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 property info.linux.driver = 'sd' (new) dmesg turns up : usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 10 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: TREK Model: TDMINIG2 Rev: 1.00 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 1012736 512-byte hdwr sectors (519 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdb: 1012736 512-byte hdwr sectors (519 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb usb-storage: device scan complete No luck with purging hal and reinstalling.
