Comment 13 for bug 264789

I don't have much to add; just concerned that this may not be getting the necessary attention. My problem sounds the same as described above, but here's my info from /var/log/messages anyway:

lsusb recognizes the device (external powered USB enclosure for a 160GB ext3-formatted drive).

Running an up-to-date Intrepid beta on an HP dv5t laptop:

~> uname -a
Linux hp-velo.localdomain 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 14 18:38:59 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Device works fine when attached to an old Inspiron 5100 Dell laptop running an up-to-date Hardy.
