If you still actually have an 'hda' then you should start using the new |
| 6 |
disk drivers in the kernel "CONFIG_ATA" section rather than the older |
| 7 |
and deprecated "CONFIG_IDE" section. |

That will make all of your /dev/hd* devices become /dev/sd* instead. This |
| 10 |
may have nothing to do with your current problem, but it's time to make the |
| 11 |
change in any case. (You will need to make appropriate changes in fstab.) |

What choices does grub show you when you type "root (hd" and then hit |
| 17 |
TAB? That should list all hard disks that your BIOS knows about. The |
| 18 |
list will change, of course, depending on whether your USB disk is plugged |
| 19 |
in (and working) or not. (grub always refers to 'hd' and never 'sd', which |
| 20 |
I'm sure you already know :) |

I'm not using the dreaded 'hardware' word yet, though I'm suspicious. |

When you tested the drive on the other machine, did you use a different |
| 25 |
USB cable? |

Will fdisk read and recognize the partition table on the USB disk? If fdisk |
| 28 |
results in disk read errors then I'd begin to think more about 'hardware' :( |
