my system is squeeze-amd64
I have my passport external hdd. It is initially recognised and then it is disconnected immediately.
I got message as follows
lvgandhi@lvghomepc:/var/log$ sudo tail messages

I also have following rule in /etc/udev/rules.d
80-usb-wd.rules
which is
lvgandhi@lvghomepc:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-wd.rules

Any solution to avoid disconnection and mounting?
