I purchased a "Genesyslogic" usb/ieee1394 hard drive which I started fiddling with yesterday. While I was able to get everything working just fine with the ieee1394 and the sbp2 driver, I was unsuccessful with the usb support. (I did test the drive on a Win2K computer, and with the help of explore2fs, it worked quite nicely, so I know the drive is functional.) While the sd_mod module does identify it as sda, I can do nothing with it.
Does anyone have and suggestions? I am using RedHat7.3 (kernel 2.4.18) on a PentiumIII/800 Here is the run-down: # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices 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=c000 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.)
