Hello Archers,
I have had an external eSATA drive working beautifilly for some time now, but last night when I got home the "Read" LED was flashing on a regular interval.
Now no devices are created at startup. This drive is < 1 year old, so I'm praying it hasn't failed. Any debugging ideas for me? Here's some output that might help narrow it down:

dont know if this applies to you also but
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … io#Problem
could be if you change setup in mkinitpio.conf
if you havent already tried changing modules being loaded????
just a thought

Thanks for the response, rayjgu3. I removed "scsi" from that list; that made all the difference.
Please disregard my original response--I didn't realize I had to rebuild the img file as well as editing the .conf.
I appreciate your help very much.
Thanks again!
