Thanks very much for that.  I'll try the usbconfig reset next time I
reboot -- it drops me into single user mode every time due to the 
unavailable fstab filesystem (my home directory is on that disk, didn't
realize there'd be a problem til I rebooted). Fortunately I don't reboot
this machine often...
