I did as you suggested and syslog produced some interesting messages: Jan 22 20:32:55 senator kernel: WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured Jan 22 20:32:55 senator kernel: USB Mass Storage device found at 3 Jan 22 20:32:55 senator /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 5e3/702/2 Jan 22 20:32:55 senator /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver usb-storage I suppose if I'm to have any hope of getting this drive to work I will have to follow that tip from qbik.ch; remove those offending lines from source file and recompile my kernel.
