Hello all, Im trying to get a USB hard drive I bought to work in linux. Im running kernel 2.4.2 #1 SMP on an Intel PII 400mhz I have all the scsi/usb options compiled in as documented variously around the linux-usb site. The usb drive is manufactured by mem-up (http://www.memup.com) and is a 30gb. It looks simply to be an ide hard disk inside some sort of casing with an ide -> usb adaptor of some sort (though I havent opened it up yet) I get the feeling its the device that's not recognised by the mass storage driver. Ive seen quite a bit of mention around the web of similar problems with different products. But none with this exact model. Ideas? Below is all the info I could gather: /var/log/messages contains the following: Mar 3 23:54:56 blitzkrieg kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 5 Mar 3 23:54:56 blitzkrieg kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 6 Mar 3 23:54:56 blitzkrieg kernel: Product: USB to IDE Adapter Mar 3 23:54:56 blitzkrieg kernel: SerialNumber: ecb8b6c0-b487-11d4-97c0-b083fb77664c Mar 3 23:54:56 blitzkrieg kernel: usb.c: USB device 6 (vend/prod 0x5ab/0x200) is not claimed by any active driver. and a lot of other debug info which doesnt seem to report anything unusual. I'd appreciate any help I can get with trying to get this device to work. If its a case of the device not being support /proc/bus/usb/devices contains the following: T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=9000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)
