External Hard Drive (Data Storage) Error on FC-6

[zwfed]

Hi,

After I plugged in an external hard drive to my FC-6 laptop, I could not make it work. Can somebody take a look at the following info?

$dmsg | tail

Have you tried setting ACPI in bios to 'disabled' ? On some .deb systems that has worked.
