Why do you think there is one? Because, before the scrollback buffer was configured, when I ran $dmesg|less the output, ie more that 2700 lines, that came up in the console, all started with 'usb-storage'. After configuring the scrollback buffer, there may have been a few usb-console lines but certainly not 2700, and nothing else, one right after another. I understand it makes no sense to say there is a connection but that is what I saw. It may have been intermittant. I notice with successive reboots of 2.6.30, /dev/sdb1,2, which contain /home and /var are sometimes not found and not mounted; sometimes not found but mounted anyways; sometimes found and mounted as per /etc/fstab. If it happens enough times, I suppose a pattern will emerge but I haven't seen it yet. mw
