Be sure that your drive is set to master... most of these convertor boxes only support drives that are set to this.

Also, unplug the device (from usb), then plug it back in.. run tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog and paste the results in here.

You need the following modules:

modprobe usb_storage
modprobe scsi_mod
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sg
modprobe sr_mod

You may be missing sg :)

Yes, I'd posted, then I read the manual for the IDE converter and noticed the note about making the drive master!!

Checked and it was master.

I think sg is missing! so I'll check that when I'm home tonight and also post the log .. so I don't need usb-storage then?

Thanks

mhh, no luck I'm afraid :(

small point, usb-storage rather than usb_storage :)

here's what I have loaded ...

what does your dmesg look like when things are working ok? do I need hdx=scsi in any grub conf file? like in gentoo on the PC?

TIA

:), yeah sorry to be picky 8)

I'm not convinced my converter is working properly, so will check that out today!

At least I know what messages to expect when its working properly.

Thanks
