Hello My wife's computer is pretty slow, so I've attached and old hard drive into a hard drive enclosure and hooked it into her USB port for additional swap space. It used to work. The swap space is supposed to be /dev/sda1. The problem is that for some reason when I rebooted this morning with a new kernel, /dev/sda does not exist anymore. I'm at a lost as to what to do now. Here's dmesg, or at least the parts portaining to usb devices:
catherine dev # dmesg | grep usb usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs usbcore: registered new interface driver hub usbcore: registered new device driver usb usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid usbhid: v2.6:USB HID core driver usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 usb 3-2: device not accepting address 4, error -62 usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5 usb 3-2: device not accepting address 5, error -62 and here is lsmod: catherine dev # lsmod Module Size Used by nfsd 212004 9 xt_DSCP 2676 17 xt_multiport 2512 4 xt_tcpudp 2528 55 iptable_nat 4308 1 nf_nat 16104 1 iptable_nat xt_limit 2036 27 nf_conntrack_ipv4 11692 18 iptable_nat,nf_nat nf_defrag_ipv4 1668 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_state 1780 15 nf_conntrack 60044 4 iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state ipt_LOG 4896 27 iptable_mangle 2268 1 xt_string 1764 0 ipt_ULOG 5784 0 iptable_filter 2260 1 ip_tables 10264 3 iptable_nat,iptable_mangle,iptable_filter x_tables 14684 10 xt_DSCP,xt_multiport,xt_tcpudp,iptable_nat,xt_limit,xt_state,ipt_LOG,xt_string,ipt_ULOG,ip_tables ipv6 216088 20 snd_pcm_oss 30740 0 snd_mixer_oss 13456 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_oss 23496 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6312 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 42988 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 6352 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq lp 8184 0 snd_intel8x0 26864 1 snd_ac97_codec 93624 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 1456 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 60476 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec sis900 17960 0 ppdev 5752 0 mii 4736 1 sis900 shpchp 27540 0 pcspkr 2204 0 processor 35088 0 pci_hotplug 24584 1 shpchp snd_timer 18172 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm sis_agp 6640 1 agpgart 31260 1 sis_agp snd 51020 9 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 8168 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm button 5192 0 rtc_cmos 9432 0 floppy 47372 0 fan 4084 0 rtc_core 15912 1 rtc_cmos rtc_lib 2620 1 rtc_core thermal 12828 0 parport_pc 32580 1 thermal_sys 12432 3 processor,fan,thermal tg3 95332 0 libphy 21256 1 tg3 e1000 103876 0 fuse 52728 0 xfs 428276 0 exportfs 3764 2 nfsd,xfs nfs 228192 1 auth_rpcgss 33564 2 nfsd,nfs nfs_acl 2612 2 nfsd,nfs lockd 59124 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 169108 15 nfsd,nfs,auth_rpcgss,nfs_acl,lockd jfs 151124 0 raid10 19696 0 dm_bbr 9656 0 dm_snapshot 22180 0 dm_crypt 11148 0 dm_mirror 13076 0 dm_region_hash 10704 1 dm_mirror dm_log 8680 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_mod 57896 5 dm_bbr,dm_snapshot,dm_crypt,dm_mirror,dm_log scsi_wait_scan 1056 0 sbp2 19648 0 ohci1394 26352 0 ieee1394 75548 2 sbp2,ohci1394 sl811_hcd 9408 0 usbhid 31684 0 ohci_hcd 21528 0 ssb 38308 1 ohci_hcd uhci_hcd 19248 0 usb_storage 49012 0 ehci_hcd 30756 0 usbcore 125412 7 sl811_hcd,usbhid,ohci_hcd,uhci_hcd,usb_storage,ehci_hcd aic94xx 63056 0 libsas 40312 1 aic94xx lpfc 335680 0 qla2xxx 198228 0 megaraid_sas 28672 0 megaraid_mbox 27444 0 megaraid_mm 8140 1 megaraid_mbox megaraid 37876 0 aacraid 61408 0 sx8 13232 0 DAC960 61252 0 cciss 83956 0 3w_9xxx 28080 0 3w_xxxx 21528 0 mptsas 44696 0 scsi_transport_sas 25004 3 aic94xx,libsas,mptsas mptfc 14444 0 scsi_transport_fc 39252 3 lpfc,qla2xxx,mptfc scsi_tgt 10984 1 scsi_transport_fc mptspi 15484 0 mptscsih 28516 3 mptsas,mptfc,mptspi mptbase 78172 4 mptsas,mptfc,mptspi,mptscsih atp870u 25132 0 dc395x 29184 0 qla1280 20272 0 imm 8980 0 parport 31484 4 lp,ppdev,parport_pc,imm dmx3191d 9472 0 sym53c8xx 65888 0 qlogicfas408 6292 0 gdth 76584 0 advansys 52732 0 initio 15264 0 BusLogic 20632 0 arcmsr 19832 0 aic7xxx 104240 0 aic79xx 109548 0 scsi_transport_spi 20276 5 mptspi,dmx3191d,sym53c8xx,aic7xxx,aic79xx sg 25136 0 pdc_adma 6208 0 sata_inic162x 8328 0 sata_mv 24500 0 ata_piix 22152 0 ahci 32120 0 sata_qstor 6324 0 sata_vsc 5036 0 sata_uli 3824 0 sata_sis 4840 0 sata_sx4 9144 0 sata_nv 20180 0 sata_via 8304 0 sata_svw 4856 0 sata_sil24 11980 0 sata_sil 8344 0 sata_promise 9908 0 pata_pcmcia 10796 0 pcmcia 31232 2 ssb,pata_pcmcia pcmcia_core 32096 2 ssb,pcmcia I don't know if I just don't have the right drivers loaded or installed or what, but this is a problem. My mother-in-law is coming today and she's the type of person who will be scared off if something doesn't work right. We don't want her scared off. She's a Windows user, so this is kind of a big deal for us. Thank you for your help. Please let me know if there's any other information you need in order to help me... -Michael Sullivan-
