Are you using the usb tools, like lsusb, which does some of
the same things as seen in proc, but a little more. Are you
loading the usb storage module, might want to check lsmod to
see if its listed. Also check for the proper usb modules
listed for your hub, or usb card, maybe its not loading like
it should.
Another thing that might be of interest is what does lspci
say, does it show any unknown devices. What file system does
the drive include, what happens if you create one on the
drive, with the mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda/ this could explain
why you can not see the drive, as there is nothing on the
drive to see, just a thought.
