If I insert the good card, the card is recognized, and I can hot plug the external drive into the esata port and all is well. The Syba card freezes the system whether I plug it in before or after boot. To be fair to Syba, they gave me an RMA and I returned it for an exchange. Will know in 2 weeks what the replacement card will do. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
