Greetings.  Wondering if anyone can help me out on this.  I got a

2

Western Digital My Book, 500G -- and it's not happy with my main

3

computer.

4

5

I tried it on a Windows system and my other computer, running 2.6.17-r8,

6

and it's happy there.  So the drive is working.  However on this

7

box, running 2.6.12-r6 I get the messages below from dmesg.

8

9

I should mention that I can not mount the drive on the 2.6.12 box, but

10

it mounts fine on the 2.6.17 system.  The error messages start shorty

11

(a minute or so) after plugging the device in and doing nothing else.

12

If I try to mount it:

51

52

I mention kernel versions as that is my first guess about the problem.

53

I'm currently compiling 2.6.17-r8 for this box to see if that makes any

54

difference.  I might be barking up the wrong tree however.

55

56

I've also done a bit of googleing for that error message, nothing

57

helpful there.

58

59

This computer works fine with 2G and 6G usb memory sticks, also works

60

fine with my ipod, and I've used a digital camera -- thus I know

61

that usb works in general.

62

63

As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
