    Are you using the usb tools, like lsusb, which does some of
    the same things as seen in proc, but a little more. Are you
    loading the usb storage module, might want to check lsmod to
    see if its listed. Also check for the proper usb modules
    listed for your hub, or usb card, maybe its not loading like
    it should.

    Another thing that might be of interest is what does lspci
    say, does it show any unknown devices. What file system does
    the drive include, what happens if you create one on the
    drive, with the mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda/ this could explain
    why you can not see the drive, as there is nothing on the
    drive to see, just a thought.
