At work I'm using a gentoo system, and I have a 'portable' brick (IDE harddrive in an external USB enclosure) for all my mp3s. When I commandeered this computer from the coworker that was using it, I could mount the HD just fine, using /dev/sda5.
Recently, due to some overheating issues, I had to get a new fan and in the process ended out switching motherboards back and forth. In the end, I had the same motherboard, same chip, but new heatsink and fan -- everything about the system except the heatsink/fan combo is the same. There *are* two unlabeled one pin connectors bundled with the HD LED, RESET SW, etc. that I didn't plug in because, well, they were unlabeled. After all this hardware fun, I reboot and after getting the harddrive to be recognized again, the system boots as if nothing had ever changed, the way it should be. *Except*, now my USB drive won't mount. /dev/sd* just isn't there anymore. And even more odd, if I simply power up the USB enclosure, without even trying to mount it, my computer locks up. So any ideas from you gurus what might be going on here? The only culprit I can think of is that I didn't plug in those diddly connectors, but how am I supposed to know where they go?
