To this day , if I find a good , ( even used ) scsi scanner , I try to grab it, if only to get away from the usb sub system. Printers on parallel ports is about the only thing linux supports there , but it seems to be door knob simple

I don't mind if i have to write a bash/python script to do this, so long as on detecting a CD the script is called and figures out that the content does not already exist on local drive and imports it?
Thanks
Ian
Have you looked on the net in general ? This seems to be something that should be popular. Anglophony

I'm not sure of what you mean? Are you suggesting that in /boot/grub/menu.lst I replace my " kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.37.6 root=UUID=5a825bf0-8d11-4797-91af-f4a32cf16ea4 splash quiet blacklist=nouveau " with your " kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.37.6 root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root resume=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap "
and try that? And what is the initial boot screen? Thanks [/quote]
Then we can rule out usb hangups.............
Oooooh yeah multi boot , forgot about that , that means no splash screen ( that is what I meant by initial screen , giving you options to alter your booting temporarily ). and your kernel boot command is almost as simple as mine .
Before we go to that , I see from another forum , that kde4 desktop effects may cause a problem. One users solution was to go to kde start > settings> desktop effects and remove the tick mark from the " enable desktop effects switch". A simple thing to try first.

No error lines but one can't line "can't assign mem pref"Doesn't seem very significant. [/quote] I tend to agree ,Maurice. Couple of other things , some usb devices (e.g. external hard drives , not keyboards or mice ) have caused a ( older ) system to hang or to not boot , something to see to ( remove them temporarily ) . As I mentioned , mine was a hard to install thing, so I disabled ( in software ) a couple of things , not force , just removed them from the kernel boot.My boot looks like this now: " kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.37.6 root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root resume=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap ". You may want to try this at the inital boot screen in the parameters line, it'll restore itself in the next boot.

G'day Chris Try this: open a terminal ( konsole will do) ,on the command line type "dmesg | less ". This gives you a screenful of information , including hardware. If you don't know what you are looking at , then type this ( both cases ,do not include the " " ) "dmesg > text.txt". You can then include that (text.txt ) in your next message.
