Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

This visually nasty bug confirmed here with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, kernel 2.6.26-4-generic, and Gnome 2.23.5. My Western Digital 120GB external USB harddrive pops up with two desktop icons and the above error - but is nevertheless acessible without any problems. Here the dmesg output:
