Hi..... I just bought a External HD with USB/FireWire interfaces. I was trying to connect it by firewire and nothing happened, but it's connected by USB, there is no problem. This is the "fdisk - l" output when i connect it by USB Disco /dev/sdc: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 19457 cilindros Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes With firewire, there is just nothing for the external HD The firewire port it's integrated to my motherboard as an ATX form card. The USB port where i connect the HD is in the same card Hope u can help me. Thanks a lot -- ________________________ Dago Pacheco Encargado de Inform?tica Maestranza Makimet Ltda.

Thanks a lotYou can always start the following command as root: tail -f /var/log/messages ...and then plug the drive in. You should see messages relating to the connection of the device and so on. -- Matt Martz CentOS Mirror Admin mdmartz at gflug.net

If you are running centos 4.x, you can install the centosplus kernel: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus. A similar version for centos5 is still in the testing repository: http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/ or http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/ -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
