Or is there really a kernel bug? Replacing the network card won't solve the original problem however as there should be no networking involved, only USB file transfers. Karen Kevin Mark wrote: On Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 10:15:55AM -0600, Karen Larson wrote: Thank you for your response and a

A dual CPU Intel machine was installed with Debian testing on 1/14/05 with a 2.6.8-1-686-smp kernel. Security updates were applied over the next year as they became available. Machine was backed up to an unpartitioned USB external hard drive at /dev/sdb with a tar command (similar to backing
