I am running rawhide. I just noticed that the usb flashdrive does not get mounted, or anything. It is because none of the modules are loaded for usb storage. I do not know which system this would apply to. HAL? HOTPLUG? initscripts? This was working until a week or so ago. I know its a bit vague, but I didn't test for every update. Its just when I used it last, it worked with out all of the modprobe stuff. I have to do the following dance to get the flashdrive to be mounted.
[bpm]$ sudo modprobe usb-ohci [bpm]$ sudo modprobe uhci-hcd [bpm]$ sudo modprobe ehci-hcd [bpm]$ sudo modprobe scsi-mod [bpm]$ sudo modprobe usb-storage
I know I can put this in rc.local & other places, but what behavior changed?

Thanks Jef,

I guess it is 'Jef' not the 'Jeff' from the email?

The latest rawhide updates seem to have taken care of your problem. But judging from the error you got:
Jan 25 11:52:39 localhost modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting scsi_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1109_FC4/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Jan 25 11:52:39 localhost kernel: scsi_mod: Unknown parameter `'
and Dave's message [1], I believe it's likely the error will pop up again in the future. The upstream kernels got picky about module parameters, so you might want to get rid of these warnings (which I suppose you're still getting). I've seen cases where a single trailing space in /etc/modprobe.conf prevented the kernel from loading a module.

Wow. All I can say is wow.
I had in my modprobe.conf the following: (note space at end)
'options scsi_mod max_luns=10 '
I did have this commented out, but I have been getting that strange error message for a while.
Thanks a lot. It is a good 'gotcha' to look for from now on.

I'm just suggesting one more thing to add to his list of things to check. I have no idea what the actual problem is, without any error messages or logging to look over.... neither of which were provided nor referenced in his original post.

Re-reading the original post again.. i think found the answer to your question. Clearly I was on crack.
