New FC7 kernel does't recognize USB ext drive

ddan · #1 23rd July 2007, 05:54 AM

After updating to 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 two of my external USB disc drives are not recognized. These are Maxtor drives (300GB and 500GB). The funny thing is that the third Maxtor 750GB is recognized and automounts fine. If I boot 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 everything works great.

All the best,
Dan

Very weird. Just after you plug in a drive (within a few secnds) do a "dmesg | tail" to see what the kernel thinks happened.
