Default does your mass storage sometimes not work?

Every now and then when I plug in my Pearl, it seems to not present itself to the system as a mass storage device; if I pull out the cable and wait a few seconds, then plug it back in it usually starts working.

Obviously it can be a kernel/usb bug but I really don't know but I can share the following observations:

- on FC6 if the device is set to Yes, it happens a lot more. If set to Prompt, it almost never happens

- on FC5 it seems to happen almost all the time, but every now and again it'll work as expected on first-plug

I don't think it's bcharge related as I don't even have that installed on the FC5 workstation (at work). My only thought is if it's in Prompt mode (regarding FC6) that might slow down the process enough that the kernel can catch up or whatnot.

Happening to anyone else, you folks on Ubuntu and SuSE?
