i have the solution! finally it's working. the thing was, that with kernel 2.6.9 , my external hard drive shows up at /dev/uba1 and is no longer under /dev/sda1. hwd though, couldn't find it.
i hope this helps someone like me! :-) i am glad everything is working fine now. i'll keep testing the new kernel.
greetings, Stanislav
]]>Snowman, the difference between kernel26-scsi and kernel26 is basically -scsi has a lot of the scsi controller drivers builtin, whereas kernel26 has them as modules. Using the SCSI protocol isn't a scsi controller's job, so you don't need the -scsi kernel.
That's good to know . During installation, the installation guide gave me the impression that kernel26-scsi was needed for external drives. Anywaw, I'll probably switch to kernel26 since it's smaller.
]]>i tried
modprobe ub
but that didn't change much. still the hard drive is missing! if this was a known issue, i thought it would be fixed in 2.6.9!

USB Mass Storage device found at 3
usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage

for both kernels i run
modprobe usb-storage
modprobe sr_mod
when i try to load sd_mod, i get "FATAL:Module sd_mod not found"
i hope that helps
]]>What is the output in dmesg when you plug in that drive?
Snowman, the difference between kernel26-scsi and kernel26 is basically -scsi has a lot of the scsi controller drivers builtin, whereas kernel26 has them as modules. Using the SCSI protocol isn't a scsi controller's job, so you don't need the -scsi kernel.
]]>here is the first problem with the new kernel-2.6.9-1t1. i just did
pacman -S kernel26
and i got the new kernel from testing. i'm glad is in testing, because i can't mount my USB hard drive. i also have 2.6.8.1-mm which works pretty fine. i load my modules usb-storage & sr_mod but the kernel can't find my USB hard drive. good that i still have another kernel version.
i forgot to mention that i am using a laptop, HP pavilion zt3010us. my USB ADSL internet works fine with 2.6.9 & my USB mouse also. so i know USB works with 2.6.9 just my external hard-drive is giving me hard time.
let me sumarize:
2.6.8.1 2.6.9
USB ADSL Internet x x
USB Mouse x x
USB Hard Drive x -
2. another problem i have is, my laptop doesn't shutdown when i run halt, it only reboots. i am sure acpi works , because i can load cpufreqd & acpid. so maybe you can help with that one too.
i'll be glad to help further, if you have any questions.
take care, Stanislav
