Thanks Stephen and all,
Apparently, this is not an uncommon source of confusion.
I still have not been able to apply a filesystem to this thing.
fdisk /dev/sda
fdisk /dev/sdb
fdisk /dev/sdc
fdisk /dev/sdd
All return with the error:
Unable to open /dev/sd*
Here is the output of dmesg:
scsi0 : iSCSI 2.1.2.2 (23-Aug-2002)
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/3, assigned device number 2
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 256 ret -32
usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 256 ret -32
usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 256 ret -32
I'm slightly concerned with the USBDEVFS_CONTROL error, but think it
might have somehting to do with the device not having a FS.
here is lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c0b:b001 Acomdata
It's Bus 001 Device 002 that I'm trying to use.
And here is the output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices :

The system clearly sees the USB 2.0 Storage Adaptor, but ......
For a bunch of reasons, I went back to the stock SuSE 8.1 kernel
(2.4.19), and tried again. After installing the iscsi_mod module, lsusb
no longer locks up the machine. I'm not sure what iscsi is, however :0
here is the output of lsmod:

I'm pretty much at a loss here, but I think it has something to do with
the scsi driver.
Any insight???? Thanks!
