I am new to Linux and I have a MDK 9.0. I bought a usb HDD 2"5 (I have a laptop). How should I proceed?
I did the modprobe usb-uhci, usb-storage...
But then, what's next? I did /var/log/messages and got strange things:
[root@meini discs]# modprobe usb-uhci
[root@meini discs]# modprobe usb-storage
[root@meini discs]# tail -n 11 /var/log/messages
Aug 19 23:12:05 meini kernel: The failed "Start/Stop Unit" packet command was:
Aug 19 23:12:05 meini kernel: "1b 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
Aug 19 23:12:05 meini kernel: Error in command packet byte 4 bit 0

Aug 19 23:12:18 meini kernel: udf: bad mount option "codepage=850"
Aug 19 23:12:33 meini modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0090
Aug 19 23:12:49 meini last message repeated 3 times
Aug 19 23:12:54 meini modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0050
Aug 19 23:12:54 meini modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0050
Aug 19 23:13:23 meini su(pam_unix)[2163]: session opened for user root by roxy(uid=501)
Hope anybody can tell how to do! Many thanks to u guys!
On a regular desktop MDK loads everything required. All you need to do is plug the unit in. For my USB pendrive MDK create a desktop icon and mount point. You can look at the hardware detection GUI to see if the OS detects it or look at the output of dmesg and look at the USB messages.
Most of the error messages posted above are related to the CDROM and not the USB. Its hard to say with just 11 lines. Look at all of the messges using the dmesg command.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have a normal MDK, but I dont get the same advantages like you....
Here are the messages that appear with the dmesg command:

In the "hardware detection GUI" (KDE configuration center): I see my USB flash Drive, my USB Hub, BUT not my HDD!!!
Thanks for your reply. A friend told me I should recompile my kernel with full USB support. But I dont know how to do it. My HDD is 2.0, so I need usb-ehci, thats what he says... but dunno how to do...
Thanks for help
