nchancock Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 (edited) Hi all, I have an HP zd7168cl laptop running Mandrake 10.1 (kernel-2.6.8.1-12mdksmp) and KDE. Everything was installed new as a dual boot with XP Pro. Most of the hardware functions properly, but when I insert my Jumpdrive into the USB port, strange things start to happen. The drive is recognized (/dev/sda1) and mounted (/mnt/removable) ok, but Konqueror will not open and the acpi (power management and battery) module becomes unresponsive. The computer also seems to go into high gear indefinately such that it heats up significantly. Unmounting (manual as root, kwikdisk tells me something about not being in fstab and me not being root) and removing the drive does not fix the situation. If the Jumpdrive is subsequently re-inserted it is recognized as (/dev/sdb1) and mounted to (/mnt/removable), but the unresponsive activity of both Konqueror and acpi continue. A soft restart with the Jumpdrive removed resolves the unresponsiveness, but the drive still shows as being mounted by kwikdisk and cannot be unmounted. A hard restart with the drive removed and everything is fine. Booting from power off with the drive inserted causes the same symptoms. Is there any hope for correct functionality? [edit: oops, just read the earlier post called "USB and 10.1" trying the suggested solution now.] [edit: ok, all fixed. After installing all 107 updates, it all works like a charm. Ops can remove the post if they like.] Edited December 4, 2004 by nchancock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
