Greetings. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this. I got a
Western Digital My Book, 500G -- and it's not happy with my main
computer.
I tried it on a Windows system and my other computer, running 2.6.17-r8,
and it's happy there. So the drive is working. However on this
box, running 2.6.12-r6 I get the messages below from dmesg.
I should mention that I can not mount the drive on the 2.6.12 box, but
it mounts fine on the 2.6.17 system. The error messages start shorty
(a minute or so) after plugging the device in and doing nothing else.
If I try to mount it:
Mon Nov 06 22:18:38
~
root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Mon Nov 06 22:20:39
~
root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/ -t vfat
mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist

I mention kernel versions as that is my first guess about the problem.
I'm currently compiling 2.6.17-r8 for this box to see if that makes any
difference. I might be barking up the wrong tree however.
I've also done a bit of googleing for that error message, nothing
helpful there.
This computer works fine with 2G and 6G usb memory sticks, also works
fine with my ipod, and I've used a digital camera -- thus I know
that usb works in general.
As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
