I tried plugging in my NTFS formatted WD 1TB External HDD into my Arch system.
However, it fails to detect the Drive. There is no entry in /dev to correspond to the HDD. I do not have automounting enabled.
I have the ntfs-3g package installed for access to NTFS drives. I also have a couple of NTFS drives mounted on my system, so that seems to be working fine.
How can I get this HDD to work?
I checked
fdisk -l
but even there I couldnt find an entry for the HDD.

Post the 'dmesg' output when you plug the drive in.

So, it seems like the kernel is detecting a disk being plugged in, but nothing ahead of that.

@jasonwryan: Thanks for the link. I tried the solution mentioned there. Ran
modprobe -r ehci_hcd
and re-plugged the device. Yet, nothing. It wont detect.
I ran lsusb:

Doesnt detect there.
The result of dmesg after unloading the module was :

Okay. I dont know what worked. But plugging it and unplugging it a few times seemed to do the trick for me. I now have the device mounted and working.
Thanks for the help. But I'd honestly like to know what was wrong earlier..

Maybe it's a kernel bug. Maybe not. Some people report that the support for ECHI in the kernel its the problem. When they re-compiled the kernel removing this option , fixed the problem . But nothing for sure. (just other forums opinions).

So bottomline do you recommend to blacklist uhci-hcd in this case?
