Is anyone else using an external USB-2.0 Hard Drive? If so, perhaps you can
help me figure out what's up with mine. If I do a reboot with the drive
powered up, I get a kernel panic when it gets to mounting it. I can see the
USB-2.0 support loaded, but I don't think the drive is getting recognized
before the system tries to mount it. I have to power it off, comment out the
mount entry in fstab, reboot, power up the drive (it's then recognized and
registered via USB drivers) and then uncomment out the mount entry in fstab
and mount it manually.

Here are the mount entrys in fstab:

/dev/sda5               /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
#/dev/sda1               /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 auto,owner,ro   0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             msdos    noauto,owner    0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/sda6               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/sdb1               /mnt/usbhd              ext3    defaults        1 3

The /boot partition mount is commented out as I ran out of room for up2date
to install new kernels, so I created a /boot folder in / and referenced grub
there for all boots and kernels and abandoned the /boot partition.

Any ideas on the USB Hard Drive would be appreciated - thanks.
