Yes, I've tried that. The rough sequence of events is something like this:
1) running on old x86 hardware the extern USB HD worked fine. Using kernel
2.6.12.
2) Buy new hardware. Reassemble machines with new parts. New machines are
amd64 so I reinstall Debian using the amd64 port.
3) Compile new kernel for new hardware. Use kernel 2.6.15.
4) Machine is working fine except for external HD and minor hotplugging
problem with USB KB and mouse.
5) On random advice from a LUG member, recompile a 2.6.12 kernel since the
drive was known to have worked even if the underlying hardware is all new.
6) External HD still works with 2.6.12 kernel, but due to some NFS issues we
move back to 2.6.15.
So, that's the chain of events. That all too place over the span of about 4
days. Also, when the drive first didn't work on the newer kernel we plugged
it into a Windows laptop and worked okay.
