Hi all This error seems to be the same bug as reported in Ubuntu forum https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/81059 I've connected a external HDD to USB port but I can't mount it. I'm using x86_64 openSUSE 10.2, kernal is 2.6.18.2-34, Dell inspiron 1501 (dual boot with Windows Vista, with which the USB HDD works fine. Is this a bug in openSUSE 10.2 ? Below is the output of some diagnostics I've tried...
