LACIE USB disk and SuSE 10.1

[Jon maddog Hall]

Hi folks,

It is not often I have a problem, but here one is.

I recently bought a LACIE 600 GByte USB 2.0 disk, unwrapped it and plugged it
into my SuSE 10.1 distribution.

Normally I plug in a USB storage device and it mounts, with a nice little
icon that comes up.  No such luck.  I hear the drive spin up and the heads load,
but that is about it.

So I do a "dmesg" and I get this out of it:

usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
usb 4-1: new device found, idVendor=0451, idProduct=6250
usb 4-1: new device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1
usb 4-1: Product: TUSB6250 Boot Device
usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
usb 4-1: SerialNumber: AAB74D460127
usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I expected to see something like "/dev/sdX" but that did not come up.

I poked around the net, found some information about "ehci_hcd" drivers, etc.
and it told me to do a "lsusb":

maddog at shamet:~> lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 011: ID 0451:6250 Texas Instruments, Inc.

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


and an lsdev gives me this:

So the device is more or less seen, but I can not find the proper way to hold
my tongue and mount it.

Googling for "Lacie" and "Linux" does not get me much.

Thanks,
