    Hi,
    Running suse 9.1 - kernel 2.6.3-15mdk.(Mandrake 10.0 alternately). Installed and updated this last weekend.
    All this on a new pc. Do not know if my problem existed before the update.

    When I transfer data to sda1 or 2 then the external drive light comes on and stays on. This hangs my pc too. Nothing works and the only recourse is to press the reset switch.

    I remember sometime ago some discussions about hotplug/usb. That some application was to be re-installed from cd. I did not take that much notice of the problem because I did not have a problem.

    Kindly please what was suggested to overcome this.

    The new hardware may be suspected but works like a charm in Mandrake 10.0.
    Thanks.
