Hi all,
First of all for informational purposes I am running Ubuntu Dapper.
Myself and Kyle (aka bagpuss) tried for a few hours last night by doing
various methods and it still didn't suceed.
I have a 500gb external usb2 hdd which I have been using for the past
couple of days. Anyway, I rebooted my machine and when I try to mount
the hdd it just says:
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/big
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist'
Well at that point I thought I should check to see if the modules are
present and here is the output from that also:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod |grep usb
usb_storage 74176 0
scsi_mod 139496 4 sd_mod,usb_storage,sr_mod,sbp2
usbcore 129668 4 usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
dmesg reports this whenever I put in the usb2 cable:
[4294852.023000] usb 4-4: USB disconnect, address 2
[4295590.979000] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 3

[4296249.835000] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 5
Now at the moment I really don't know what else I can do to get the hdd
working and was hoping that some member of the list knows where I am
going wrong or can give some handy tips so that I can remedy my problems.
Many thanks in advance.
Tam.
p.s. no spelling or grammar police please ;)
