John,

   That's totally different from any I've seen so I have nothing useful to
add.

   Did you follow /var/log/syslog for changes as you connected (or turned on)
your problem device? If you look at the static log you might not see what
how the kernel reacts when a new device is seen.

   On my systems when I attached a USB external flash/hard drive I often see
the log respond (not in these exact words),

   /dev/sdc seen
   /dev/sdc1 attached as Logitech model xxx.

This tells me that the kernel first sees the device, then the specific
partition.

   Others with much more knowledge than I have will probably help you more.

Regards,

Rich
