Hello
i dont know if its the right place to post my thread but instead of searching i have prefered to ask you some help.
Here is my problem : i have an Acer Aspire 9420 with gentoo installed and a 2.6.38-r3 kernel.
Since a few months i have decided to boot from an USB external HDD WD scorpio Blue 750go (with USB adapter) instead of the internal HDD.
Yesterday evening during my gnome session activity i had a black screen with a cursor and nothing can respond anymore.
I tried an hard reboot but my bios does not detect my USB Disk either.
So i boot from a liveDVD to check what is the problem and when i plug my usb disk here is what dmesg indicates
Code:
dmesg
