I have an Acom Data 60Gb External USB-2.0 Hard Drive attached to a Buslink PCI USB-2.0 Adapter (Nec Chip). I'm running RH 8.0 and kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0smp. I have set the fstab entry to 'noauto'. If I have the Drive powered up and restart Linux, I get a Kernel Panic right after it says it's Mounting Root Filesystem, Mounting ext3.
If I restart Linux with the Drive powered OFF and let the startup process get beyone the Mounting Root Filesystem THEN power up the drive, I can then manually enter the mount command and it works. I don't understand where the Kernel is getting stuck trying to mount the drive (which evidently isn't ready yet) when the noauto is set in fstab. Does anyone have a clean startup process working for an external USB-2.0 drive?
