Hey Group;

I have commented earlier about the lack of SuSE9.3 and SuSE 10
not being able to detect a USB drive unless it was ON for a
longer period of time.  Lets say 1 hour.

Well to that end- I have tracked out the problem.  It appears
to be a drive problem with the HD bios.

Using " /sbin/getcfg -d . -f hwcfg- -- /dev/sda "
a list of HWD config information is reported.  Missing is
"HWD_VENDORID=@h" which fails and seems to be the problem.
When it works "HWD_VENDORID=WDC WD15".

" /sbin/getcfg -d . -f hwcfg- -- /dev/sda1 " offered no answer.

I have another drive which is also a WD drive but newer

By the way - " Rita "
We got very little wind and .25 inches of rain.
Thanks to all for the "Good Luck" wishes.
