Comment 9 for bug 68824

Well, just uploaded the logfiles of the nearly dead USB external hard disk.

I attached the USB harddisk to the HP Compaq 6830s / system, but that system doesn't see the USB hard disk anymore, not at boot, not from Vista. Note: I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the USB Hard disk using this same system!
So I tried booting from my old laptop Dell D600, but alas! it loses resources during login.
I booted the D600 from the internal harddisk, then plugged usb harddisk in. second attempt worked, but it was unstable, so I got the log files as soon as possible.

I will keep the USB hard disk, but be very gentle with it, to be able to help investigate the problem. Only my old (also dying) D600 will touch it, but I have no idea how long it will last.
