Sounds exactly like what I have been seeing, but only on the second mount (if the unit can be persuaded to mount at all second time around at all !). The first time I mount the device everything works just fine.

My old Dell only has 1.1 :-(

I've got an Acom Data 80 GB external USB 2.0 drive. It works fine if I
plug it into a USB 1.1 port at lower speeds. If I connect it to a USB
2.0 port, it will mount, but when I start transferring large amounts of
data, it causes the computer to hang. This is with the 2.4.19-16mdk (ie
a 9.0 install) kernel. The mobo is a Via P4MA.

Are you connecting to a USB 2.0 port? Does any of what I have said
above sound similar to what you're seeing?
