John & List == Hi, I also have this same problem. I have SuSE 8.0 2.4.18smp kernel on a 2 P-III system. I get the same "Can't locate module block-major-11" message.. Stephen J. Gowdy of this list assisted me; he pointed out that the module block-major-11 is 'scsi cd-rom support' and my (your) kernel needs this module to support the USB Mass Storage device The module name is sr_mod and you can see if it is loaded with lsmod.. I am beginning to suspect that the SuSE 2.4.18 kerenl that the installation process loads is 'broken' ; I have emailed support at SuSE but have not heard back. Modprobe sr_mod does NOT work and I haveen't been able find out how to get this prob resolved. If you find out please let me know! Can anyone on the list help? Thanks and good luck .......

Hello,

I tried to get a ScanLogic USB/IDE case to work under Linux (SuSE 8.0, kernel 2.4.18), but without luck until now.

After connecting it, /proc/bus/usb/devices contains this information for the device:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=04ce ProdID=0002 Rev= 2.60 S: Manufacturer=ScanLogic USBIDE S: Product=ScanLogic USBIDE C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.)

and /var/log/messages says (output formatted manually):

The module usb-storage seems to hang after this.

Are there any chances to get this working? Any hints?

Thanks,

John
