hi guys,
i am encountering an interesting (and annoying) problem. when the
external USB harddrive is plugged in during boot (i have dell d430
with d/port port replicator - the drive is connected to one of the usb
ports on the d/port), i can hear it spinning in the very beginning,
but then it powers down and won't get recognized. it's neither shown
in /dev/disk/by-uuid nor do the udev rules apply to create the node in
/dev.
Is it an externally-powered drive? If so, maybe newer kernels are
slower to react to your drive.
yes, it is an externally-powered drive. but when connected directly to
the notebook, it works...
But then, I've got an external Firewire drive, and it's recognized at
boot, as are all my thumb drives, so maybe your product doesn't follow
some spec well enough, and new kernels are more strict than older kernels.
would there be any way how to find you if this is the case?
best,
lubos
