Hi,

I have just got my hands on a Lacie 250Gb USB 2 external hard disk and am having a few issues getting it to load on FC5.

When plugging it in and looking at tail -f /var/log/messages
I get the following

ul 16 13:38:48 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
Jul 16 13:38:49 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

Jul 16 13:39:46 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: device not accepting address 6, error -110

This is the same as I get from dmesg.
The kernel I am running
[root@pcphate100 media]# uname -a
Linux pcphate100 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 #1 Sat Jul 1 13:03:45 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@pcphate100 media]#

I have looked around to try and find any solution to this but am struggling somewhat now. I have checked the modules are loaded from a previous post here but am having trouble using some of the other tools mentioned as shown below:

[root@pcphate100 media]# lsusb
bash: lsusb: command not found
[root@pcphate100 media]# locate lsusb
[root@pcphate100 media]# hwbrowser
bash: hwbrowser: command not found
[root@pcphate100 media]# locate hwbrowser

If anyone has any ideas on how to get the thing working I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Dean

I'm having a similar problem with a LaCie drive, but with a different linux distribution.
