First, sorry if this message is received by the wrong recipient or
person I'm not subscribed to this news group. But this is a problem
that has been driving me nuts for weeks and I thought it was just me or
something on my end that wasn't working.
With regards to the loss of USB, I noticed this "issue" between the 4
Nov and the 9 Nov pre-releases of the SGI installer. It took me a while
to confirm this, about 40 or so install re-installs. But it does seem
to be something between those two pre-releases and I might add the final
1.0.2 and 1.0.2a release.
I was able to keep USB by first installing using the 4 Nov pre-release
and then upgrading with the 1.0.2a release the last time I tried this,
Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As a side note any attempts to upgrade
from RH 7.1/SGI 1.0.1 and RH 7.2/SGI 1.0.2a leaves my notebook in a very
sorry state way too many problems for this message.
The only thing that I have been able to conclude is that after the 4 Nov
pre-release is that USBdevfs isn't installed or at least it isn't being
initilized. USB however does work and this can be verified by manually
initiating the required modules, e.g. usbcore, usb-uhci, etc.
Sanity reaffirmed,
Steve Romero
