USB hard drive setup

[cloverm]

I've got the USB external hard-drive that I asked about here: http://www.linuxjunior.org/cgi-bin/Y...94&start=0

I understand that it should be emulated as a scsi hard drive. I have scsi emulation compiled in the kernel (my IDE CD-ROM already shows up as a scsi drive, so I know it works). The USB ATAPI controller shows up in the USB device list.

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=e0816000
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  2 Ivl=255ms
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 4 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=067b ProdID=2307 Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=Prolific Technology Inc.
S: Product=ATAPI-4 Bridge Controller
S: SerialNumber=0
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  7 Ivl= 1ms

The problem is that it won't show up as a scsi drive.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
 Vendor:     Model: 50X CD-ROM    Rev: 4.2B
 Type:  CD-ROM              ANSI SCSI revision: 02

That's just my CD-ROM. Now what do I need to do for it to show up as a scsi drive? ???

dumb question of the day!
is the usb-storage module loaded?

Yeahhh ?!!

did you chekc out these instructions?

Now for my stupid question

Do you have SCSI hard disk support in this kernel as well as SCSI emulation?

I know that I need both for my USB removable mass stotage device.

Just an idea, I know you are bound to have but I forgot once & spent ages wondering why it wouldn't work. Yeah I know I am dumb :

Any progress on this Cloverm?
