Comment 298 for bug 88746

andymc73, it may be that you are the first one to report having both a non-working and working Linux installation on exactly the same hardware at the same time, so your findings will be interesting. What kernel versions are the two installations using? (I would gladly revert to an older kernel if it would make my disks readable again. Contrary to some posters suggestions, reading/writing a couple of 500 GB disks with USB 1.1 is simply not practical...)

J.O.
