And the fact that it is now part of GENERIC should mean that the developers believe it has become more stable. I have not tested it extensively yet, but now I at least can boot a machine with a USB 2.0 drive connected without it hanging forever after "waiting for SCSI devices to settle". And it also works without disabling onboard USB 1.0 / USB 1.1. I have yet to test pulling mounted drives during I/O and other nasty stuff :-) Frode Nordahl frode@nordahl.net
