I have a sansa MP3 player and a Flip Video. Each plugs in as a usb device and presents as a fat file system.
Both used to work, but don't today (it is has been a while--few months--since I last plugged them in. Now the device screen shows that it is connected, but I see nothing on the computer df shows no new file system mount shows no new file system I checked and FAT/VFAT are in the kernel # DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems CONFIG_FAT_FS=y CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1" Both hal and udev are running 8045 ?
