then insmod usb-storage (i believe that this is the crucial module you are missing)
if the disk is plugged in at this point and it still doesnt work, un plug it and plug it back in.
This seems to work for my usb2 external hd.
hope this helps Ed

I am using 128 MB Cool Disk. I am not sure is it USB 2.0 or earlier. But I can easily use it on Win98 with a driver. I think, it also works on Win XP etc.
My own computer is DELL. I am runing Linux RedHat 8.0. I am trying to use the USB drive on that. On Intel Computers with Redhat 8.0, the drivers are automatically loaded and I just mount the usb and use it. But on the Dell computer the drivers are not being automatically loaded.
So, I loaded the following modules. usbcore.o uhci.o or usb-ohci.o (Tried both).
Then I try to mount it as /dev/sda1. But it gives an error "Not a valid block device".
I wonder, why is Dell computer accepting it?
bye. shiraz
