Re: [SLUG] external usb formatting
See if you can find the manufacturer and do a google on that. I had the misfortune to get a genentech usb-ide bridge that didn't work with some older linux kernels, but had blacklist workarounds in later ones. Also it didn't work in win xp until sp2.

Re: [SLUG] external usb formatting
Sounds like this could be a power issue. If the external device has a plug-pack option, try this with the laptop. Alternately, if you have another low power device (such as a USB key) try that, it should be the same procedure exactly. Alternately your kernel might be having trouble with the USB host adapter in general or you have mismatched USB 1.0 / 2.0 etc. My bet is still power though :-( On Mon, 21 Mar 2005, Ashley Maher wrote: Michael Fox wrote: As pointed out, looks like dead disk.

I reckon firewire support which works pretty much the same is badly broken in 2.6 so I stick to 2.4. You won't be able to get 2.4 to work nicely with Ubuntu (tho I am sure someone here might be able to help). maybe try debian testing on that laptop - you get debian anyway, just a bit more headache making it work. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I don't believe you've stated what type of usb external case.. is this a laptop ide usb case? ie. bus powered unit? If so its possible the laptop usb ports can't power it. You might need to also plug in the other cable that draws current from ps2 port. It might be the lack of power to the drive causing it not to spin up, and thus been seen as offline.
