Hi, I upgraded to 2.6.8 (from 2.6.5) a couple of weeks back and everything was relatively smooth with the exception that my sata disks changed from being recognized as ide devices (hd*) to scsi disks (sd*).
I went to use an occasionally used lacie external usb hard drive on the weekend only to find this no longer functioned (and it's been fine since i first got it and was using a 2.4.20 kernel). i figured i may have forgotten to configure the kernel accordingly and wanted to change to 2.6.8.1 in any event. it turns out the kernel options were compiled in (scsi disk support and usb mass storage support and usb generic support) the device still no longer functions in fact it's not even detected when i plug it in. a usb flash drive i has is still fine, detects as a scsi device (/dev/sdc) it alos appears in /proc/scsi/usb-storage. any hints here? or anyone else finding similar problems? i've googled on this for a few hours and have found some similar problems recorded but no suggestions as to fixes etc. brett -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
