Ok so i researched a little and found that Shallax had accomplished this feet, but found that the speeds were impossibly slow. I was wondering if the new kernel brought something new to the table. I would suggest this as an something for the new version, but I would like others' input before asking.
Or should I just try compiling the kernel using this information:

external usb harddrive ?
Problem with Home v3
Hi,
With Gentoox Home v2, I was able to use my usb harddrive, simply with modules usb-storage and sd_mod. But now with Home v3, I got a kernel error :
modprobe usb-storage : no problem, my harddrive appear in scsi devices but not in /dev/sda (but that's normal)
modprobe sd_mod : a kernel exception appear : can't handle with NULL pointer at adress 00000120. What's the problem ?
Is it due to new kernel 2.4.22 ? Have I made a mistake ?

so did you look into it?
I had my external hdd working in the past under 2.x as well. i recently upgraded to 3.x and have not been able to get the external hdd to work, although external cd-rom works fine. I forget what I did under 2.x to get it to work, but I remember doing some stuff w/the kernel. So.. any tips on getting the hdd to work on 3.x would be appreciated.

I too have this same issue with 2.4.22. I REALLY need my digi cam going ASAP (going overseas in 9 days...), which works exactly like external USB storage.
Does anyone pls pls pls have the older WORKING gentoox kernel or gentoox kernel source, and is there anyway I can pls pls pls get this from you?
Also, what kernel version specifically is this?
I also can't find old gentoox kernel source full stop...do I need to otherwise get vanilla source and add in all the xbox patches? I really need step by step instructions for this if someone is prepared to help out a desperate person. (Ideally a compiled working kernel would be easest and best).
/edit I've already tried compiling 2.4.22 with scsi devices loaded in rather than as modules as Shallax metions on his site with regards to getting USB storage devices to work. Still no luck.
MUCH thanks in advance,
Josh
