If I have a usb storage device, the routine operation for me is to insert the usb drive and then be tailing /var/log/messages interactively to watch for a drive assignment. At the same time, I often take a peek at /proc/scsi/scsi and there should be a device assignment and type there. If I have something like my Treo 600, often I just take a look at /var/log/messages or dmesg looking for a ttyUSB1 to come up. Often with storage devices I have to re-insert the usb device more than once since it seems that the usb-storage module gets wonky at times and will not actually create the device although it appears to load in the running kernel. You could also check to make sure that usb-storage is loaded. There is also this little command line utility called lsusb which works very nicely and will list all the usb devices it finds. All my systems are self-compiled kernels running either 2.6.12 or later. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
