I have two 500GB USB drives that my Gentoo system here will not read. |
| 2 |
Both these drives are fat formatted. |

|

The tail of DMESG, the entries actually go on for a long long time, has |
| 5 |
the following report for either of those two drives, |
| 6 |

Both these fat formatted drives are easily read on several other systems |
| 16 |
running Windows or MAC OS X. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The Gentoo system will read small usb memory sticks up to 16 GB fat |
| 19 |
formatted. |
| 20 |
The Gentoo system will also read a 750 GB NTFS drive without problems. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Is anyone able to point me in the direction to figure out why the fat |
| 23 |
usb drives will not be read by the Gentoo system? |
| 24 |

Thanks |
