The USB disconnect message is the important one here. It seems very
likely to me that the Dynex enclosure is the source of the sudden
disconnect. The USB chipset on the Dynex' circuit board may not be
working correctly. I find this happens a lot with hard drive enclosures.
Some of my USB enclosures went dead mysteriously, so I replaced them
with enclosures from a better-built brand. Try putting the Western
Digital drive in a totally different enclosure -- one that you know
works fine. Also, be sure that you are supplying sufficient power to the
external enclosure.

I am trying to get an external hard-drive to work with my F-11 box.
I am using a Dynex enclosure with a Western Digital 500g hard-drive.
Using the same enclosure with a smaller Seagate drive works just fine.
I know the disk is working ok, as I have put an ext3 file system on it
in another machine.
When I plug it into the USB port, I get the following tail results:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
