1 Hello
2
3 My wife's computer is pretty slow, so I've attached and old hard drive
4 into a hard drive enclosure and hooked it into her USB port for
5 additional swap space. It used to work. The swap space is supposed to
6 be /dev/sda1. The problem is that for some reason when I rebooted this
7 morning with a new kernel, /dev/sda does not exist anymore. I'm at a
8 lost as to what to do now. Here's dmesg, or at least the parts
9 portaining to usb devices:

187 I don't know if I just don't have the right drivers loaded or installed
188 or what, but this is a problem. My mother-in-law is coming today and
189 she's the type of person who will be scared off if something doesn't
190 work right. We don't want her scared off. She's a Windows user, so
191 this is kind of a big deal for us. Thank you for your help. Please let
192 me know if there's any other information you need in order to help me...
