Alright, in your original message it seemed like you were saying the
only difference between the USB device working, and not working, was
the OS version.  I assumed you meant that you had booted the three
different OSes on the same hardware.  It sounds like that's not the
case, though, and that actually the device works on two wholly
separate computers, but does not work on this third computer?

Can you give some more detail about:

    - "the USB port is OK" -- how do you know?

    - when you plug the device into the computer that isn't working,
      are there any log messages in /var/adm/messages?

    - are there messages when you unplug it again?

    - is there more than one USB port on the computer that
      isn't working?


Cheers.
