[PLUG] iomega REV drive on Debian

[Lee Marke <lee@marzke.net>]

After hearing so much about Debian at PLUG, I'm trying to migrate one
of my SuSE servers.

I can't seem to get my IOMEGA REV drive, for backups working.
This is an USB attached 35Gb removable disk, using UDF format.

I did the Debian 3.1 netinstall ok, but the
2.4 kernel will only mount the REV  as read-only.

Since this was working on SuSE's 2.6 kernel I downloaded that.
(kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686)

Now the system hangs during boot with a stack dump as soon
as the usb-storage kernel module loads.

This seem to be documented here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/01/msg02906.html

If I boot with the REV disconnected from USB, everything works well
and hotplug attaches the drive fine, and everything works.     But if
I leave it connected the boot fails again.

Any ideas ?.     How do I change aptitude to give me a newer (testing)
kernel  ?
