Hi,

I've posted this a couple of times already to linuxppc-dev and to the
linux-usb devel list, without any results.

Here are the details:
tested with iBook dual-USB 2001 (500 MHz) and iMac g3 400 (summer 2000)
kernels ranging from 2.4.7 to 2.4.19-pre10

LaCie USB 20G hard-drive, 0x59f/0xa601 ID (it's in the unusual_devs.h)
Some people got it to work it seems:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3D68

Here's the log when I plug the device in:
Jun 18 21:04:26 dozo kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1,
assigned device number 2
Jun 18 21:04:26 dozo kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod

devicesJun 18 21:04:44 dozo kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

and the debug messages from the usb-storage module:

This is plugging and unplugging the device. The usb-storage module is
removable. But the socket it was plugged in is unusable, I have to
reboot to be able to use it again.

Did anybody got this drive to work on an OHCI controller or even better,
on a PPC ?

Cheers

PS: CC me as I'm not on the list.
