Re: Usb harddisk trouble...

Hi Martin, List,

Thanks for the suggestions, sadly that is mostly stuff i already tried...

CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION is on.

> Try if any of these work:

> mount -v -t vfat /dev/sda1 /fw/
timeout

> mount -v -t fat /dev/sda1 /fw/	
does not exist, it would be "-t msdos"

> mount -v /dev/sda1 /fw/
tries to auto the filesystem, tries htfs first, then gives error of 
course...

> If that does not work, run fdisk /dev/sda and see if that works okay.

fdisk and cfdisk show the same timeout and behavior as the mount command.

Strange thing is, that my 64MB memory stick mounts without a problem...
nice difference to the HD at mount is in /var/log/messages:

HD:
Jun 13 16:20:03 gonzo kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi7
STICK:
Jun 13 16:23:06 gonzo kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi8
                                            ^^^^^^^^^
Hmmmn,,,,
Thanks for the help!!
