Team,
I'm trying to add an external USB drive to one of my RHEL 3 boxes.
It doesn't seem to be working.
dmesg:
hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.0-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x1058/0x901) is not claimed by any active driver.

Any suggestions? Is this a patch / kernel issue because this box is so old? Any suggestions? This box is long sense out of contract with Red Hat.
Thanks,
