Usually mine shows up in messages and dmesg is always the same. I'm not sure why that is tho. I'm using the same kernel because I can't compile a new one. Gcc-4.3 doesn't like a 2.6.23 kernel and after it compiles a little while, it fails with a error. I googled it and they know it but the fix hasn't made it to Gentoo yet I guess, at least not in stable anyway. So, given that, I know I haven't recompiled a new kernel since I can't. I do know that I went through the xorg-server upgrade and that I upgraded gcc. I suspect that something related to the xorg-server upgrade got recompiled and either doesn't like my kernel or that maybe gcc has more troubles than was thought. I switched back to my old gcc and am doing a emerge -ev ivman which would include hal, dbus, udev and all their little friends. If after this it works, this could very well be a gcc problem. I also agree that it could be a hardware failure but not real likely. I got plenty of cooling here and I'm plugged into a surge protector and a UPS as well. While it is still possible, it is unlikely. It is funny that my printer is also dead in the water. It's not a device problem, broke camera or something, since they both stopped working at the same time. Will report back later when my recompile finishes. Dale :-) :-)
