Comment 16 for bug 48987

Hi Vi, thank you for your post.

I did what you said above and rebooted. Some things are better - new behaviour as follows:
-- light permanently on as before.
-- on insertion of a memory stick, the new log entries posted below are added.
-- not much else happens.

Where should I be looking/what commands should I run to find the inserted memory stick?

Oh yes, I'm running proposed updates now so uname -a = "Linux wideboy 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux"

Thanks

Log entries on insert/removal of mem stick...
