Maybe you should start by getting your helper to recompile the kernel so
it can be on the network and you can then do some real debugging of the
bus. I'm guessing that the kernel you have on that drive isn't
sufficiently smart enough to handle the newer hardware. Knoppix CDs seem
pretty decent at running the hardware fast since they are at such a
disadvantage booting and running from the CD.
