I have two firewire drives that are the same brand. One old one (one year), and one new one. I have Suse 9.1 and Mac OSX systems. The old drive can be seen on the mac and the linux box. The new drive can only be seen on the mac box. The new drive does not show up in a Yast hardware scan or /etc/fstab. Here are the relevant messages from /var/log/messages: Sep 16 23:45:20 Cosmos3 kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 Sep 16 23:45:20 Cosmos3 kernel: ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 Sep 16 23:45:25 Cosmos3 kernel: ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00d04b43e0091193] Sep 16 23:45:25 Cosmos3 kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048] Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: Vendor: WDC WD16 Model: 00BB-00DWA0 Rev: 15.0 Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06 Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: SCSI device sda: 312581808 512-byte hdwr sectors (160042 MB) Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: sda: asking for cache data failed Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 /etc/hotplug/block.agent[10013]: try 1 while waiting for /block/sda's bus_id 3:0:0:0 Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: sda: unknown partition table Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Sep 16 23:45:26 Cosmos3 kernel: Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Sep 16 23:45:27 Cosmos3 /etc/hotplug/block.agent[10013]: new block device /block/sda What do I do to fix this?
