I recently bought a Asus WL-HDD and flashed openwrt. The harddrive is not accessable. How can i enable ide?

Hmm, probably by installing the package which contains the IDE modules.
ipkg install kmod-ide
rebootAnd the correct packages for the filesystem on the harddisc.

ipkg ext2 (for ext2) or ipkg ext3 (for ext3) too.
then with dmesg you see ...
...

and my mount

/dev/discs/disc0/part6 on /tmp/harddisk type ext3 (rw,noatime)

Seems you only need kmod-ext3 since mount shows you a EXT3 filesystem.

Thanks for the fast response. I can't get ide support working. I installed both kmod-ide and kmod-ext3 with ipkg.
By entering dmesg I get:

You need install the package: kmod-ide, ext2 and ext3
Then ...
/etc/modules
et
ide-core
pdc202xx_old
ide-detect
ide-disk
jbd
ext2
ext3
wl
With they order !
You can see http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=2042
Thanks a lot, no I can mount the drive. Where can I put the mounting command so that the drive ist automatically mounted on each system start?
Konrad
I'm planning to buy wl-hdd and I have just one question for you guys, what kind of firmware you have on your wl-hdd's? Is it openwrt or something else and where have you get it? Thanx in advance.

What answer are you going to expect when asking this question here in the OpenWrt forum?
Sorry but I can't find proper wl-hdd firmware version (specific one) on download site
look http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/rc3/bin/
and also in docs asus wl-hdd is ment as 'untested' http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware
so I was assuming it have to be something else... enlight me 
how about opening a new thread?!?
take openwrt-brcm-2.4-jffs2-4MB.trx fpr the wl-hdd
thank you for quick answer I didn't want to mess around forum with new thread for my silly question knowing that two wl-hdd users are here... it's a habit from other strict forums, if you want I can delete all my posts in your thread

To do this, you could create a new executable script file, for instance /etc/init.d/S47mount, with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part6 /mnt/harddisk

I am not able to create a new script file with vi in init.d. How can this be done?

no prob, i think it's more useful for other users to have a thread for each topic. i searched some time to find the right firmware file, if there had been a thread about that issue i could have saved some time.

it's simple 
vi S47mount
it will create and open needed file if you want to edit you have to get to edit mode push "i" after that you can edit your file 'esc' will close edit mode when you want command mode push ":" to write changes use "w" to quit "q" you can also do it together so if you want write changes and close the file ":wq" 
remember to 'chmod +x' to make file executable
This is really cool: now i have the twonkyvision upnp musicserver running on my wl harddisk. Thanks for your support. I had no space left on the device, thats why i couldnt create the script.

When i try to flash from Oleg's latest =>
Firmware upgrade fail. It may result from incorrect image or error transmission. Please check the version of firmare and try again

You need to use tftp
OK... got it.. :-) (finally)
BTW: is it possible to update Doc for installing openwrt on other unit than linksys ? It does mean how to come to tftp mode (linksys will be there anyway on startup....)
The discussion might have continued from here.
