CentOS - Mar 2012 - Recent kernel update vs usb disk

Hello there,


since kernel update 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6, one of my USB external SATA
drives is not mounting. With kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6, it auto-mounts
in GNOME desktop when I plug the disk.

When I plug the disk, this wakes it up and I see in /var/log/messages:

kernel: usb 2-4.2: USB disconnect, address 11
kernel: usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1ca1, idProduct=18a9
kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
kernel: usb 2-2: Product: Usb Sata Bridge
kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SYMWAVE
kernel: usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 3559443452593133
kernel: usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: scsi11 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

but it's not getting mounted.

Any hint where I could grab more information?


Regards,

Up to where did you cut the output...?
Did you get the SCSI device at all?
if not, is hald running and polling /dev/sd* (ps auxfw | grep hald)?

Maybe try to restart the usb_storage module...
