<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first part is the messages I get when inserting
the flash disk; the second, when I insert the USB HDD. Strangely, using the same
usb-storage driver, I am able to read the usb flash disk but not the USB hard
drive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is very strange indeed. Any suggestions on
where the problem might be?</FONT></DIV>
