I've sometimes seen this message under other (slightly older) versions of Slackware with an external FireWire hard disk drive that mounts as (e.g.) / dev/sda1 using a VFAT filesystem. I've solved this by running Kurt Garloff's 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh' bash shell script as needed prior to mounting the partition. You might want to try running that script before attempting the 'mount'. You can grab that script from his site: http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ Oliver Rauch (of 'XSane' fame) also has a C-language-based utility (that I have not tried) as part of his 'scsi-tools.tar.gz' package, available at: http://www.rauch-domain.de/scsi-tools/index.html I don't know why the 2.4.x worked when newer kernels don't, however. I've not yet tried my FireWire drive with the 2.6.0-testxx series. HTH... Good luck!
