OK, running iATKOS 1.0i.

 

Anytime I plug in a USB device--ipod, HDD, you name it--i need to reboot in order for Leopard to sense it.

 

I found a solution to this somewhere before, but I can't remember where. It involved a quick Terminal command to refresh the comp's USB drivers, or something to the effect. Any ideas?

could try this

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext

 

or

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Caches then wait a few secs.

 

or take a look at your System.kext version... is it matching your kernel version? (this fixed mine)

 

or google "forum.insanelymac.com USB not loading" to find more details or lore ideas...
