Hello, I want to use my Lacie Handdrive USB harddrive with my Linux install. My info is RH8.0 Kernel 2.4.18-19, On a Dell Latitude Laptop with USB 1.2.
This machine is dual boot and the disk works well under XP. The disk is one partition vfat type. What happens when I connect the disk is: Dec 24 14:08:06 edusilva-1 /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usbcore for USB product 0/0/0 Dec 24 14:08:06 edusilva-1 /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 59f/a601/200 Dec 24 14:08:06 edusilva-1 /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usbcore for USB product 0/0/0 Dec 24 14:09:08 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:11:34 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:11:34 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:11:38 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:11:38 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:11:42 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:11:42 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:11:46 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:11:46 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:15:50 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:15:50 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:15:54 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:15:54 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:15:58 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:15:58 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:16:02 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:16:02 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:16:06 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:16:06 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:16:10 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:16:10 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:16:14 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:16:14 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Dec 24 14:16:18 edusilva-1 kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 24 14:16:18 edusilva-1 kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) The USB hard drive is detected OK in USB devices at the HW level but for some reason, I guess it has to do with the timeouts above, it is not properly recognized. /proc/bus/usb is there with 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=dce0 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.)

MxPS= 2 Ivl=100ms and drivers: usbdevfs hub 96-111: hiddev hid usb-storage And on dir 001 I have nothing but 001 and 003 files with 0 size. On /proc/scsi I have one scsi file: Attached devices: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: Model: Rev: Type: <NULL> ANSI SCSI revision: ffffffff and two usb-storage subdir (-0 and -1) with file 0 in usb-storage-0: Host scsi0: usb-storage Vendor: LaCie Product: USB Hard Disk Serial Number: None Protocol: Reduced Block Commands (RBC) Transport: Control/Bulk GUID: 059fa6010000000000000000 Attached: Yes And file 1 in usb-storage-1 with nothing. That's as far as I have been able to get info to see why I can't get it to be integrated properly into my RH8.0 sys. I suspect that the drivers for the usb storage are OK. What else can I do? What can be the root cause? How can I fix it? Thanks a lot for your help, Ed. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
