Help
I just bought a (small) Seagate 40GB USB "Portable External Hard Drive",
and assumed (sigh) that it would work with Linux as seamlessly as the
current brand-x 20GB drive I have in a similar cigarette-case sized box.
The Seagate has a Y shaped cable to steal power from two USB ports
(if necessary?) and Ive plugged both in.
The BLUE light on the front of the drive does light, but thats about
it. There is no indication in /var/log/messages that anything has
happened, and I dont see anything change in /sys
This is all with 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 on Fedora Core 3.
Any thoughts? Am I screwed? I dont understand why plugging in a
USB disk should NOT cause some activity on the /var/log/messages file
(recognizing it), or minimally some entry in /sys.
Thoughts?
