> Any chance of you getting the kernel .config for the Knoppix 2.4.20 kernel?
No problem. The file is included on the CDROM. But as it is quite large, I do not post it here, but have placed it at the following place ready for download: http://www.typoscriptics.de/knoppix-3.1-config-2.4.20 http://www.typoscriptics.de/knoppix-3.3-config-2.4.24 More details on the knoppix kernel can be found here: http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomKernelHowto I tested it on both versions of knoppix (3.1 and the current 3.3). I can mount the external USB harddrive without problems in both versions. I will also NOT help to follow the SuSE instructions given for SuSE 8.0: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/05/usb80.html Perhaps I should give some more details about the differences between mounting on SuSE and mounting on knoppix. I tried the newer Knoppix-version here (3.3). A visual difference is, that copying a large file on Knoppix will cause the drive LED to switch state between green and red in a quite regular fashion. On SuSE, the LED turns red when copying starts and remains red until the timeout occurs. It never returns to green, I have to switch the drive off. After that no more mounting is possible, I have to mount the drive using Knoppix so that the ext3-journal recovers the last healthy state. After that, SuSE is again able to mount the drive without a timeout. Any hints on a solution for SuSE is highly appreciated! Thanks, Torsten (who cannot respond to mail from Thu until the end of March ...)
