lost usb/dvd on gutsy->hardy upgrade

[Greg Gamble]

Thanks for the reply Pablo,

$ lsmod | grep usb
usb_storage            82496  0 
libusual               23520  1 usb_storage
usbhid                 35296  0 
hid                    44992  1 usbhid
usbcore               169904  6 usb_storage,libusual,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
scsi_mod              178488  5 usb_storage,sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata

$ lsmod | grep cdrom
cdrom                  41512  1 sr_mod

I'm not sure what you mean for lsscsi ... there doesn't seem to be such a
command on my machine.

Anyway, I hope there's something in the above that's helpful for diagnosis.

Regards,
Greg Gamble
