Hi;
  I had the same problem.
I did an 'lsmod' and wrote down the USB and ieee1394 stufff.
Then I booted 'kubuntu 5.10' DVD.
This detected the drive and I was able to mount it as ext3.
So I did a 'lsmod' - noticed that 'sbp2' was enabled.

Went back to FC5T3 and did a 'modprobe sbp2'
Was then able to use the drive.

I put this command in '/etc/rc.d/rc.local' so it is done at boot.
