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:

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=   8 Ivl=255ms
T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=059f ProdID=a601 Rev= 2.00
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 10mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=83(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.
