I just did a network direct upgrade from 8.04 (Heron) to 10.04 (Lynx).
Everything else seems to work so far, but I seem to have been bitten by
this bug, or something very close to it.  Plugging in  my Western
Digital USB 1TB MyBook drive (formatted with two ext3 partiitons and one
NTFS partition) nothing happens.  In hardy 8.04 these would auto-mount
as /media/disk /media/disk-1 and /media/<label of NTFS volume>.  Now,
nothing.  Nothing shows up in lsusb when I hot plug the MyBook in.

The drive powers on, and spins up, and /var/log/messages shows:

May 13 21:15:35 laptop kernel: [17320.732043] usb 5-1: new full speed USB 
device using uhci_hcd and address 3
May 13 21:15:36 laptop kernel: [17321.300038] usb 5-1: new full speed USB 
device using uhci_hcd and address 4
May 13 21:15:36 laptop kernel: [17321.865314] usb 5-1: new full speed USB 
device using uhci_hcd and address 5

but nothing else seems to be aware of the drive.  It doesn't show up in
Nautalis

Searching the forums, there were other similar symptoms people reported
going away by disabling any floppy drive controller in the BIOS.  I'm
going to try that next, as the above suggestion of trying:

sudo modprobe usb-storage

didn't work for me.

This is on an HP laptop, model "Compaq 8710p"
