Usb plugged in.. recognized but..

English Hardware

Hello everyone. I am trying to view the files that are on my external usb hard disk.
This hard disk works fine in my opensuse 11.2 @ home. But in openuse 11.3 I can not operate this hard disk.

After I plugged it in I receive the following in dmesg


[607522.909553] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
[607523.048924] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=1f03
[607523.048928] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=11, SerialNumber=3
[607523.048931] usb 1-4: Product: Samsung S2 Portable
[607523.048933] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: JMicron
[607523.048935] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 0000002CE0931050157F

Even if it “seems” that everything is ok, I can not see this hard disk in MY computer or the device is recognized by device notifier.

What do you suggest me to do now for that?

Best Regards
Alex

Is it a USB3 device? AFAIK those need a newer kernel.

Do not think so, this disk was bought 7 months ago. I tried to see its contents in a 11.3 opensuse

Please connect the drive, open a terminal window and and post output of:

Have both operating systems installed, each one on its different partition of the same machine. Test
that, and if it works in 11.2, and not in 11.3, report in bugzilla. Attach boot.msg and messsages
log from the instant you plug the thing. Component: kernel.

If you are talking of different machines, forget the above.
