** Description changed: I am using Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 5. When plugging in my 500GB Western Digital harddrive, the device does not show up in <Places>. However, the device works correctly in Hardy, so it dows not seem to be a Hardware problem. Also note that all my other external USB drives do work with Karmic. When plugged in, the device shows up for a few seconds in lsusb, but then vanishes. The dmesg output says something about: device descriptor read/64, error -71 (see the attached dmesg log) The following thread on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797789 suggests, that it has something to do with USB power saving and one could disable it by issuing the command echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend - as root and then reboot. However, this does not work for me as I am using the live-CD, such that the change gets lost at reboot. (I wanted to install Karmic on the external disk that is not recognized) + as root and then reboot. However, this does not work for me as I am using the live-CD, such that the change gets lost on reboot. (I wanted to install Karmic on the external disk that is not recognized) I am happy to provide further Information you might need for debugging.
