AFAIK the dockstar has native USB ports and some ports provided by an 
additional hub. Maybe this makes a difference.

Do cat /proc/cpuinfo. Do you have "Hardware: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar"? If 
not the "arcNumber" that gives u-boot to the kernel is wrong. IIRC arcNumber 
2998 is the right one for the Dockstar. 2097 is Sheevaplug. Please search for 
it in Doozans forum.
The arcNumber sets some board specific details like LED setup.
