Yes, there are issues. I have them reported, they were solved in 11.1. 
Maybe they don't affect him, maybe they do. His disk is a large one, might 
not be fully supported.

Not true. If you read carefully the log entries, there were missing lines, 
as Per Jessen pointed out.

Direct connection might work, yes. But Vista saw the drive fine, so the 
disk is supposedly good. The issue might be software support. So we can 
learn something from direct connection, so we can learn from newer 
software (kernel) version. One doesn't negate the other.
