Unable to read from a USB port.

My computer no longer recognizes it when I plug in my ipod into any of my usb ports.

It doesn't create an sdb1 file in the /dev directory and there are no other indications that it's plugged in, besides my IPod saying that it's plugged in and charging.

any reason this might be happening? it started when I did a full update.

Do Live CDs also not detect your iPod?

Re: Unable to read from a USB port.

My guess is your full update included an upgrade to kernel 2.6.33, and you didn't reboot immediately. Working again now, because you have rebooted in the meantime.

How did I do?
