You *DO* have the usb-storage driver loaded when you plug in the device?

Perhaps the USB<->IDE adapter you have isn't supported under Linux?  The
one I got, Addonics, specifically listed on their product page that it
worked under Linux.  That's why I got it.

Oh, and you'll probably want to see about moving to USB-2.0 if you use it a
lot.  I'm dropping a USB-2.0 card in one of my boxes tonight just for that.
In my tests, USB was taking about 20 minutes to copy 1GB of data off my
hard drive, and when I went to USB-2.0, *10* GB was taking 13 minutes.  So,
a speed up of around 10x?

Oh, wait, you're on Debian...  You'll have to wait until 2005 to get
support for USB-2.0.  ;-/  The current Red Hat beta kernels have 2.0
support in them, if you want a place to start building your own...
