Greetings. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this. I got a Western Digital My Book, 500G -- and it's not happy with my main computer.
I tried it on a Windows system and my other computer, running 2.6.17-r8, and it's happy there. So the drive is working. However on this box, running 2.6.12-r6 I get the messages below from dmesg. I should mention that I can not mount the drive on the 2.6.12 box, but it mounts fine on the 2.6.17 system. The error messages start shorty (a minute or so) after plugging the device in and doing nothing else. If I try to mount it: -------------------------------- Mon Nov 06 22:18:38 ~ root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type Mon Nov 06 22:20:39 ~ root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/ -t vfat mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist ----------------------------------- root $ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 120060864 hda 3 1 13671976 hda1 3 2 13672008 hda2 3 3 13672008 hda3 3 4 1 hda4 3 5 13671976 hda5 3 6 976720 hda6 3 7 64396048 hda7 33 0 293057352 hde 33 1 489951 hde1 33 2 1 hde2 33 5 979933 hde5 33 6 5855661 hde6 33 7 11719386 hde7 33 8 7815591 hde8 33 9 266188986 hde9 34 0 160086528 hdg 34 1 160079661 hdg1 8 0 488386584 sda 8 1 488375968 sda1 --------------------------------- I mention kernel versions as that is my first guess about the problem. I'm currently compiling 2.6.17-r8 for this box to see if that makes any difference. I might be barking up the wrong tree however. I've also done a bit of googleing for that error message, nothing helpful there. This computer works fine with 2G and 6G usb memory sticks, also works fine with my ipod, and I've used a digital camera -- thus I know that usb works in general. As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
