The only differerence in my setup is I'm using kernel 
2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp.  I tried booting into 2.6.10-1.770, and it does get 
a bit further:

When I first plug in the disk I get:
kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
kernel: usb 1-1: device descriptor read/8, error -110
kernel: usb 1-1: device descriptor read/8, error -110

/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0

But when I then try to mount it, it all goes horribly wrong:

kernel: usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
kernel: usb 1-1: scsi_eh_2 timed out on ep0in

This just repeats, and the console doing the mount is frozen until I 
pull the plug on the drive.

Any suggestions are welcome, but I think I'll stick this in bugzilla.

Cheers

Simon.
