Big bad USB stick

[nigelc]

Hi,
I had a usb stick that was causing the gnome desktop to freeze. I tried it on windows xp and something was happing.
Here some of the messages from dmesg:

Code: Select all

Strange it worked ok on puppylinux.
I do not have the stick now.

The above messages seems more like from your optical drive

It does look like it comes from the optical drive.

These might be the errors..
