I have the internal version, and I changed to kernel 2.1.131 to get it
running, and there are no problems, using 2 different disks by
now. (BTW I'm using the drive for backup with mirrordir, which for me
seems to be the easiest way to backup my files.)
The only thing I can't explain is the following error message each
time when I start fdisk, which however doesn't have any consequences
(anyway I didn't realize one):
| Dec 28 20:45:06 wabe modprobe: can't locate module block-major-3
| Dec 28 20:45:06 wabe modprobe: can't locate module block-major-3

| Dec 28 20:45:06 wabe kernel: ll_rw_block: device 08:10: only

I made the file system with `mke2fs -c -b2048 /dev/sdb1' (but so did
you, I assume).
I show you my relevant boot messages and fdisk output, maybe it can
be interesting for you:
