I added new things in my kernel configuration: Freecom USB/atapi
bridge, since my hd is a Freecom model.
Now I wonder if I should add SCSI tape support or if it's not
important.
Or should I try to build a more recent release of the kernel? If you
think that, is it hard with LFS-6.1 or will building be easy, without
risks?
You have listed the modules that are loaded. I don't think that this
tells you whether or not your usb drive is available for use. I think
that libusb, udev and hotplug will do all of this for you. Of course,
you will have to write a udev rule.
Take a look at the gphoto2 documentation. This explains how to set up a
usb digital camera. You could adapt those instructions for your usb
drive. I was actually amazed that I could access my digital camera in linux.
