I too was experiencing this problem on Ubuntu 10.4 with my Western Digital 500GB My Book external hard drive connected via firewire.
I can confirm that after manually patching the file my external drive is recognized by Ubuntu. (Note: installing Jerone's patch via command line would not work for me)
