Well, I've downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel, configured ed installed it. Now I've a working new kernel (interesting experience by itself) and some difference in my logs:
1) when the USB disk is connected: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-2, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4ce/0x2) is not claimed by any active driver. Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices (there are no more messages like "device set offline..." 2) if it's disonnected: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:04.2-2 address 2 3) after reconnecting (but only the first time, subsequent conn/disconn show nothing new): hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-2, assigned address 3 And that's all... nothing new in /proc/partition or in /proc/scsi/scsi and I still can't mount the disk. Some more infos: a) if the disk is connected at boot time my system hangs while checking new hardware and I can only reset and restart. b) cdrecord -scanbus also start and hangs (I've to kill the terminal window to exit): Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J?rg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24 (nothing more here) c) my last log check before posting show two new lines: Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type -1 resize_dma_pool: unknown device type -1 At the moment I haven't figures where they come from and how to reproduce them (can it be after the cdrecord -scanbus?). I'll keep trying and looking around, if you have some suggestion, you're welcome.
