I updated a F11 system and now I have four kernels installed...:
kernel-PAE-2.6.29.3-155.fc11.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686
kernel-PAE-2.6.30.6-53.fc11.i686
Only kernels (29) make the system start, while 30 kernels stops at a
certain point of booting...
I found these lines in dmesg when working:
scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

But when system doesn't boot I see last lines on my screen :
scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 3
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
usbcore: registered new interface driver cms-cypress

sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
I note this big difference:
usbcore: registered new interface driver cms-cypress
Please note that I have another system with Philips external USB disk
running fine....
Any comment???
