ydl powerstation is unable to use external usb hard disk drives

[acrux]

i'm a bit in trouble when i try to use an external usb hard disk drive on 
our YDL Powerstation (2x PPC970MP). 
Sombody is able to suggest me a solution? Instead, on my iBook G4, everything is working fine.

Actually i don't have another ppc64 to do further attempts.

hi all,
there is the same issue here on my iBook G4 with 2.6.38-rc4 thus it
isn't an issue related to ppc64.
It's not possible to use it.
