Re: [LUG] external usb 2.0 3.5" hard disk enclosure



well i am still having problems with the new enclosure, i have also upgraded to FC3 which seems to have made no difference, i have pasted some logs below and would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.  I will contact the supplier also and see what they have to say

# This is the output when the drive is first plugged in, all seems to be well!

They also say that "you maybe [sic] able to use these device under Linux" for both their HDD enclosures and their external harddrives.  The Linux installation guide (a link to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/allcam/usb_storage_linux_guide.html) is predominantly for SuSE 9.0 (which has a 2.4.21 based kernel).

Having had a peek through the kernel sources for 2.6.8 (my current Debian testing), I can't see any mention of a Tene 802 chipset.  I also took the liberty of downloading the SuSE 9.0 kernel sources and searching them too (hey, it's a new broadband connection, I've got to make use of it :p) and it too doesn't mention specifically anything about a Tene 802.  My guess is that it should work fine.
