Re:USB problems

CDs and USB are problematic under 2.6 kernels.

1. Using SCSI emulation for CD burners or access is deprecated. It is 
available, however, and still works. Note that I never used some of the mnt 
points generated by knoppix. The devices were on other /dev locations

My two CD drivers were, in fact under /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd so I 
changed /etc/fstab to mount them from there. When I installed 2.6, I had to 
add lines to mount them from /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1. Both sets of lines and 
coexist in fstab.

2. USB is another problem. To get usb-audio to work, one must change (or 
alias) and the driver from usb-uhci to uhci-hcd. This driver does not unload 
correctly so I am not using it right now. There are three of these, uhci-hcd, 
ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd. The uhci is needed for alsa and the others are not 
helpful here. I am not clear of their function.
