In Slackware 12, when inserting a USB stick, the device /dev/sda,b,c,d
etc, are no longer created as they had been under Slack 11. Therefore,
using USB sticks, cf cards, etc. is not possible.

My scanner and printer show up with lsusb, but the stick or multi-device
unit for CF cards do not.

udev and hal are being loaded. I noticed this bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s....20/+bug/88746

In addition, when using my scanner via VMWare (not sane compatible), there
is a tremendous delay when scanning -- almost like an interrupt conflict
or problem. This did not occur under S11.

I wanted to know if anyone else has had this or a similar issue. dmesg
does not show anything obvious other then this sequence of messages:
