Subject: [BUG] Linux-2.6.31-rc1 Fails To Recognize Some USB Disks

Hi,

I just tried to plug a "Western Digital, My Book Series" USB disk on 
2.6.31-rc1. But, it failed to recognize it by saying "READ CAPACITY 
failed". The same disk works fine with =< 2.6.30. Interestingly, I tried 
another USB Disk (which is noname, just USB Box with disk) and it worked 
fine. Here are the logs when WD-My Book has plugged in :
