[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 cannot see external USB HDD

Help
I have an external hdd hotswap box with removable trays connected via a
USB
cable.
It works/ed with SuSE 9.x auto mounting
on /media/usb-storage-some_very_long_name_with_silly_characters. I
actually saved most of my local filesystems onto a removable HDD using
cp -a dir1, dir2, ...
It works with SUSE 10.0 auto mounting on /media/usbdis_1 (or 2,3, ..).
But, on opensuse 10.2, the device does not even seem to be noticed by
the system (does not register with lsusb or dmesg).
fdisk -l shows a series of /dev/dm-[0-7] entries. These can be mounted
separately and accessed (these being the subdirectories on the original
system). I expect it to mount /dev/sdb[1-?] but these do not exist!
I have struggled to find where all this is configured: it seems to be
different on all 3 versions of SUSE.
Can anyone tell me where to look for the config files for the dbus - hal
- hotplug - usb chain?
Most of the documentation on SUSE and Novell sites seems out of date and
conflicts with linuxusb.org's documentation.
regards
John O'Gorman
