For about the past three weeks I have had no problems with the new drive, but today the computer locked up again. I powered it down and restarted, then re-inserted the DVD into the drive. This time I could not get the media to mount, so I tried to eject the disk. The drive light was running constantly and it wouldn't eject the disk, so after several minuted I unplugged the drive. The computer locked up again, and this time I got flashing lights.
I have scoured the Ubuntu forums, but can't find anything. This is the drive: http://tinyurl.com/hq2wctd It is connected by a USB 3.0 extension cable purchased from ENU. I have a 4TB external USB 3.0 drive, and numerous USB 3.0 thumb drives that have all worked perfectly for over a year. Even if I unplug one when data is being written the worst that ever happens is that I get corrupted data - never a kernel panic. Might there be a problem with the drive or the extension cable? Any other suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
