Greetings, I'm trying to put together an external USB hard drive for backup. To that end I have a brand new Seagate HD and a KingWin KH-350U-S 3.5" USB enclosure.
FWIW, I'm running Mandrake linux with a 2.6.8.1-12mdk kernel. When I plug in the USB cable two messages are written to /var/log/syslog: Dec 15 21:14:13 osage kernel: usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using address 2 Dec 15 21:14:13 osage kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices With my USB memory stick these two lines are followed by Vendor and other info, but that doesn't happen with the USB enclosure. Loaded modules include: ehci-hcd, scsi_mod, uhci-hcd, usbcore, and usb-storage The enclosure/HD combo work on my kids' Win98 machine, which identifies the USB chipset manufacturer as Cypress. As a guess, Cypress is a non-supported chipset. Alternatively, I may have the wrong modules loaded. Any suggestions on how to learn more about what's going on and maybe even get it to work??? Thanks.
