[ale] quick USB storage device question

[Christopher Bergeron]

My device is actually a Hard Disk mounted in a USB enclosure.  I can
mount it just fine in my fileserver.  This is the output from it:
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: FUJITSU   Model: MHR2040AT         Rev:  0 0
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 78140160 512-byte hdwr sectors (40008 MB)
sda: assuming drive cache: write through

However, when mounting in the machine that I want to use it in, I don't
get the same output (I get the output from my first email [seen
below]).  I'm using kernel 2.6.1 and I'm trying to see what's different
between the 2 kernel builds.

If anyone can see an obvious kernel option that I'm missing, I'd
appreciate a lead...!

Thanks again,
CB
