2.6.9-1-686-smp

Installed 12 November 2004 as package kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686-smp. Digital camera USB connection and USB Flash drive fail to be recognised as previously: Plug in the camera and dmesg gives:

  usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 5
  ubb: device 5 capacity nsec 246017 bsize 512
  ubb: was not changed
   /dev/ub/b: p1

With kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp dmesg reported:

  usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4

and the device was mounted as /dev/sdc1. After moving to udev (see Section ) things started working as expected.
