Thanks, nick -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hello Nick, You need modules for SCSI device support, SCSI disk support and please enable 'Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device' as it helps with Multi Card Readers. As long as the USB is hotpluggable, you should install hotplug and udev packages. A good idea is to put the USB Disk in and to have look in dmesg and/or /var/log/messages. Normally I the disk should recognized by the kernel and produce at least some messages. (May be a lsusb show if there is something recognized.)

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] mounting USB flash disk
Hello Nick, I checked your syslog-ng.conf. The only difference is logging to /dev/console instead of /dev/tty12. Just give it a try. I suggest to solve the problems in the order as they appear while booting. So first of all you need an working syslog-ng. I installed version 1.6.8-r1 with default syslog-ng.conf. Please try syslog-ng -s /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf;echo $? to check your config file. After this please check your hotplug config: cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug It should be /sbin/udevsend. To find out what goes wrong you should make an lsusb which is provided by sys-apps/usbutils.

USB mass storage became module (to test in MOL). and I also tried to fix my windowing problems with GNOME, KDE, and XFCE (all installed, all failing) by making radeonfb a module. sorry, nick and the root hubs (ID :) Thanks nick Am Sonntag 11 Dezember 2005 17:07 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am on a powerbook G4 800mhz and it is plugged into the back of the computer (port 2).

Hello Nick, please start syslog-ng -d on a command line, so that you see debug messages.
