I was having problems on 3 boxes, 1 SuSE 9.0 machine, 1 32-bit laptop 
and a 64-bit laptop with 9.0 64-bit. The 64-bit laptop saw it once after 
plugin, later after reboot, it's not seen it again, the 32-bit laptop 
sees it but cannot do anything with it.
After building a new kernel which failed to boot, I rebooted the old 
2.6.5-rc1-mm2 on the XP2200+ tower and it was there, I've created an 
ext2 filesystem on it and have copied files across. I've been able to 
umount and mount it again, but the laptops still do not recognise it, I 
shall see what happens when I reboot them with it connected.
Regards
Sid.
