Even can boot on it (FreeDos partition for bios upgrade, now there is flashrom)

Great. External power supply but power on/off by itself when the computer is powered on/off. Cool feature that works out of the box.

New with Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. It worked perfectly with 7.04, but since installation (from scratch) of 7.10, the 3 partitions I have on this external USB drive aren’t mounted during boot. I have to switch off the drive (or usb unplug it) and replug it in order for udev to mount those partitions.
