Unable to detect external USB hard drive after updating to Talos 22.1.1

I have recently updated my system to Talos 22.1.1 and my external hard drive is not detected when plugged in. It does show up with lsusb as Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0411:01f9

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 152d:a578 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge

I think it is not the hardware failure of the hard drive as it can still be detected when plugged on to the same PC running Windows 7 and files can still be accessed and read properly. There are several posts on external hard drive not detected or mounted on this forum, but they were posted in 2021. I have already tried some of the suggestion, but it didn’t help.

Is this a known issue and is there a way to solve the issue? Thanks

The Live ISO and Installer?

Otherwise that means nothing.

But I suppose you mean recent Stable updates from May 7th on an already installed system?
[Stable Update] 2023-05-07 - Kernels, KDE Gear 23.04.0, KDE Frameworks 5.105.0, Qt5, Firefox, Thunderbird

Lets be sure:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

PS.

Yes, I have Manjaro running on my PC for 2 years now. I upadated it using sudo pacman -Syyu few days ago and Manjaro Hello shows that it is now Talos 22.1.1.

Have you replaced some packages recently?
Maybe you can look at ‘foreign’ packages to see if there are any that have taken the place of core system ones…

pacman -Qm

I am not sure if there are any foreign packages that could have replaced the ones of core system. There’s the list. Could it be manjaro-firmware ?
