Unfortunately, in the heat of the moment I didn't check sufficiently ...

Hello Alan,

Life has been too hectic the past week or so to attend to this, but time
is opening up :-) 

Today, I plugged in the enclosure with the Cypress chipset, which logged:

Dec 25 16:30:45 osage kernel: usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using address 
16
Dec 25 16:30:45 osage kernel: scsi14 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage 
devices

As a first observation, it seems to me there should be more messages than that.

"lsmod" shows the following relevant modules installed:

sd_mod                 19232  0
usb-storage            65504  0
scsi_mod              104044  4 sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,usb-storage
ehci-hcd               26244  0
uhci-hcd               28752  0
usbcore               103172  5 usb-storage,ehci-hcd,uhci-hcd

Lastly, "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" is hanging, which I've confirmed by
running ps:

...  text.l D+ pts16 0:00 cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

What additional information would be useful to you?  What additional
tests can I run to help out?   If needs be, I can modify/rebuild usb
modules.

Cheers!

David
