Hi there! I've got the following configuration: Acer Travelmate 540 Laptop (P4) running SuSE 9.2. Sometimes, to transfer data, I connect an USB Memory Stick (TwinMOS Mobile Disk IV USB 2.0 256MB / M23), which is always detected as a USB storage devie. When copying files to the local HDD, Linux freezes completely immediately after the copy/ies finished. Mouse, keyboard don't react anymore, if switching to another console via Ctrl-Alt-F1,F2,... or Ctrl-Alt-Del to shutdown doesn't work anymore. I have to switch off the PC! Has anyone got a clue where this problem may come from and how to resolve it? Thanks for your help Regards Paul Krier paul(a)wichtelweb.net www.wichtelweb.net
