i'm having trouble making my USB Hard drive working. well, pretty much, my system can't even register the device. is there anything i'm doing wrong? included below is a dump of lsmod (the modules i'm using), dmesg, and my messages file (the messages i receive when running kudzu). i'm running RedHat Enterprise WS 3.

[root@server /]# lsmod

Aug 16 09:02:53 server /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 0/0/0

any help would be appreciated. i noticed that in my messages file, though, it says:

Code:

Aug 16 09:02:53 server /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 0/0/0
Aug 16 09:02:53 server /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 0/0/0

does that mean i have to manually load a driver/module?

thanks!!!!

update!!!!!!!!!

i did a modprobe on usb-uhci and that fixed everything. i was then able fdisk /dev/sda and partition my WD USB drive. i then continued on to mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 !!!!

i probably stumped a lot of you guys, but i figured it out. i hope others may be albe to use this information to help themselves!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
