Greetings Using 2.6.15 (vanilla), and other kernels, I cannot mount my new 300GB drive. It's a Seagate drive, in a USB 2.0 external hard drive case which has its own power supply. When I connect it the first time (first, power on drive, then connect usb), I get a lot of messages in dmesg (I enabled scsi debug, usb mass storage debug and usb debug in the kernel). I will attach my kernel config and the dmesg text in just a moment.

The usb subsystem does not appear to register that the device is there unless I power off the drive, unplug the usb, power on, plug in the usb. Then I get (again) the errors shown in dmesg.

Are you sure your USB to IDE converter supports drives of that size? Can you confirm that it works on another machine/OS?
