I've had the same trouble with some FireWire drives that suddenly quit working in Feisty, but they are still completely usable in Dapper. I was assuming my trouble had to do with Firewire, but maybe it's due to using ext3 and ext2 on removable devices ?? Some of the drives have USB and Firewire ports and (for now!) are still working as USB.

If you have a Dapper live CD, try booting from it and see if the system then recognizes your drive. If it does, maybe we've uncovered a subtle Feisty bug.

Be sure to check for bug reports in launchpad... ALSO I recently discovered these are the steps I should have used for my bug report and I will be adding them:
