I've got this new Western Digital MyBook 500GB external hard drive, but
when I plug it in, it's not recognized correctly. There doesn't seem to

I'm running Fedora Core 4.
Try a different (early) kernel. I seem to remember getting those errors
with some kernels. ---gary
hmm.. trying a bunch of old kernels to get this working is not exactly
what I'd like to do... Well, if anyone uses this drive, or knows what
that error means, please let me know.
Thanks.
