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
