I use a Dell Inspiron 7000 on which I have installed Linux-Mandrake 8.0.
It is a standard "out of the box" installation with no modifications
and I use the precompiled kernel.

I also have a LaCie 20 GB USB hard drive that is found (by harddrake)
but not recognized as anything else than an unknown device.

When checking the system before attaching the LaCie hard drive,
it's OK, the USB deamon is up and running and running
/usr/local/sbin/lsusb I can see that the USB HUB is up and running.

However, when attaching the LaCie hard drive, I get the following
output from /usr/local/sbin/lsusb:

  Language IDs: none (cannot get string descriptor)

------------------------------
If I run the command again I get three "Cannot get
string descriptor" errors.

After a while the USB deamon dies.

What can I do to make this hard drive work as it should?
