Your problem is that the enclosure was made by Genesys Logic. It was only very recently that we have been able to get their USB-IDE bridges to work properly at high speed. The necessary changes aren't in 2.6.8.1, but they are in 2.6.9-rc1. You can upgrade your kernel if you want, or you can download the necessary patch from here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=109140755230032&w=2 Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte's Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.
