USB vs Kernel

Since upgrading the kernel on the main server I have found that it disabled the USB ports. This causes lots of problems since they are used for the printer and the zip drive. What I have done is updated to the latest kernel that debian provide to you and this has made some changes to the system such as changing the program that controls the USB ports. At the moment I have updated both to the newest debian kernel so that I have all the extra bits that came with it to hopefully allow the new compiled kernel to work with USB. Apart from USB the servers are working fine.

I have also been given an old computer to play around with that once I’ve had my fun I might use as a terminal station. That is a computer that is only used to access other network computers via command line. It’s a HP 712/80 running HP-UX 10.20 and I think it was made in 1994.
