And I notice you still didn't post the details about the disk (and enclosure) in use on USB. IT's really no big surprise that two different hardware+driver stacks don't act the same, even though the (eventually) should.
Sorry, I did not realize that you are waiting for more details. Please note that write access to any of my disks gets seriously affected as soon as there is an IO error with the USB disk. Especially 'sync' gets stuck.

The USB device is 2,0,0 (/dev/sdc). There are no IDE devices in my PC.

AFAIR I called fdisk to create a partition table (one big partition for the whole disk), then I used "mkreiserfs --format 3.6 /dev/sdc1" to create a file system. The red LED flashed just a few times, then mkreiserfs got stuck. (On 2.4.21 I see the same flashes, but then the LED stays on for a few seconds. Then mkreiserfs terminates without error message.)
If you are really asking for help, you should be providing the troubleshooting information people ask for ... surely you're aware that there are a LOT of disk-specific workarounds that are needed? Even a casual look at the code shows that.
Alan Stern suggested to rebuild the kernel with more debugging output enabled. The rebuild is running.
Again, sorry for the delay. Please mail me if I missed to include something or if you need the whole syslog.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Harri
