I have been away on holiday and my mail box filled up on the 15th !!! and I most certainly got up to date with the latest Cooker downloads either !!!
So forgive me if this has already been resolved. I have noticed this with PCMCIA hard discs as well. There appears to be 2 distinct device types here: What you might call direct devices. Both the USB and PCMCIA direct devices seem to work fine (i.e. can be plugged in and out, mounted and unmounted etc) Then there are the types that emply some kind of bridge. I have a PCMCIA IDE disc caddy and this only works when inserted prior to booting (it used to work correctly with 7.2 by the way). I also have a USB IDE disc caddy, but nothing will convince this to work. It is indeed a ScanLogic bridge and I have applied the patch, and modified the 2.5.30 tree back to the "original" patch, but to no avail. When this device is inserted prior to booting the boot sequence gets passed the USB Storage [OK] but then sticks forever at USB Printers (it hasn't hung, since Ctrl+Alt+Del works fine, but booting never gets any further). If inserted once the system has booted harddrake2 recognises the USB IDE bridge, but that's as far as it gets :-( Owen On Thursday 15 Aug 2002 7:01 pm, Thierry Vignaud wrote: > "Vincent Meyer, MD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > I have a Hyundai 30gb USB hard drive, which works fine with windows. > > As of this afternoon's cooker upgrade, it seems to work fine with > > Linux as well, but with a minor snag.
