Problem detecting USB key

[Michael Wells]

Hi Paul,

Thanks. I have just had the key moved by the guys at the data centre, and I was pleased to find it works ok in another box:

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 20df:0001 Simtec Electronics Entropy Key [UDEKEY01]

I have been looking at the original machine for problems. It is a standard Debian server which hasn't been toyed with, but the problem seems to be with udevd and khubd. I have included some of the relevant dmesg output below, which is output shortly after an otherwise clean boot up. Perhaps the USB controllers on this server are not compatible with Linux (but that seems a bit unlikely).

Do you have any suggestions about this? 

Regards
Michael
