External Hard Drive Install
 
Red Hat (Fedora Core 1) does not seem to recognize my ext hard drive. Anyone have a similiar problem/answer?

How are you connecting this external hard drive?

Magic?

USB?

Firewire?

How is it connected?

Can you post the output from "dmesg"

lbooker 03-20-2005 11:47 AM
USB 2.0
 
Guess I am not that Psychic either.

Yes. Same with FC2 and FC3. And firewire for that matter. If you stop
the Fedora installation the devices /sev/sd* is there so the external HDs
is there, but the installation program doesn't see them sor some reason.
I installed Gentoo instead, but didn't like the download/compile stuff, so
now I installed FC3 on another machine, tar'ed the entire root and
unpacked it on the external disk. It works fine.
