RHEL4U2 (kernel 2.6.9-22.EL) doesn't detect USB HDD on boot, require manual re-plug
Refers to RHEL R4 Update 2 (kernel 2.6.9-22.EL)
Kernel doesn't detect the USB HDD if it's attached prior to boot. After boot process complete, unplugging & re-plugging in works. BUT I need it to be auto-mounted through reboot, so this is not a solution.
Any clues why it doesn't got detected & registered on boot (when attached)?

***NOTE: The last line above is automatically added by system upon re-plugging. It's *not* present right after boot.
