Hi,

I plugged in a Western Digital 80G External USB Hard Drive and got this 
polite message in my /var/log/messages:

So, it is my pleasure to submit report as per request.

There is no apparent model number on the product package.  The drive was 
purchased 20 May 2005.

Here is details of the linux I am running

This is an upgraded RedHat Fedora Core 3.  The kernel is regular FC3 
upgraded kernel with 16M stack.

output from uname:

[root@stratocaster mnt]# uname -a
Linux stratocaster 2.6.10-1.770_FC3.stk16 #1 Thu Mar 3 10:36:35 EST 2005 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Would you like any other information?

Update udev with the available package and this message will go away.
