I am mad that some think I am so STUPID that for 6 months I have used my memory stick with the old kernel, and stuck it in wrong when I first used the new kernel. Jeeze you IDIOTS! Grow up. What I was going to do is explain what happened this morning. I got not the 44 but the 41 kernel when I tried to get the 44. I guess yum could not find the 44 and did the best it could. So I rebooted to the 41 kernel and sure enough it will not work with a USB device. But I tried a memory stick that you plug into the proper slot and it worked perfect! So what I have is a cheap thing about the size of a floppy drive at the front panel which plugs into one of the two USB things on the mother board. It has 5 slots for various memeory sticks from camera and cell phone and other things. With this kernel (41) the 5 slots work but the one USB on this devise does not work. I am sure there is something not quite right with my computer. But for sure with the old kernel it DID WORK. -- Karl F.

But I tried a > memory stick that you plug into the proper slot and it worked perfect! <joke on> yum could not find the 44, sometimes I would like to find a "44", a 44 Magnum like the one Clint Eastwood uses and said "Go ahead make my day" to correct some issues with yum. <joke off> Nonetheless, as mentioned in the threads. The fix is to update udev to udev-113-8.fc7 which should be pushed into updates as Rahul has suggested. We wait a little bit and put this issue behind us. I am wondering/intrigued about the kernel names from 2.6.21-1-3194.fc7 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 which are old names to the new ones 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 Is there a place to read about the fedora kernel naming?
