Sounds like you are nearly there.
How about adding a line to your fstab with auto as the fstype?
Also dd if=/dev/sda of=dump; then take a look at the FS, maybe its not formated? or corrupted? try inserting a card before switching on the machine...
Also try the adapter in another usb machine, and I assume you got other usb devices working on this machine? Also try another CF card incase thats the problem.
if all else fails get a pccard adapter and access that way on a laptop, thats what I do.

Hi all,
Hope you can help. Now we're getting somewhere!! I unplugged the device AGAIN and rebooted. Went through the steps again and this time it created the devfs entry...but with errors in the log (/var/log/messages):

Weird is says medium not present since I had a SM card in the reader when I mounted it!! I had to do the sd_mod straight away or the usb would time out. Anyway, once I did this I tried to mount it:
[root@localhost jason]# modprobe sd_mod
[root@localhost jason]# mount /dev/sda /mnt/cf
/dev/sda: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
So I tried several ways:
[root@localhost jason]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/cf
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@localhost jason]# mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/cf
/dev/sda: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@localhost jason]#
I used vfat cause I know these crap readers use fat by default.
Why can't I mount the bugger!!?!@#$%^ =)
Cheers
Jason

Well have you got the usb modules loaded? And i assume there are other working usb devicies? you do not mention if your mouse is listed.
If not get the lastest libusb recompile the latest kernel too.

Ok, I am still having problems so I hope someone can help me out here. I had a look in:
|/proc/bus/usb/devices|
and there is nothing in there, even after plugging in the device. This tells me that the kernel is not recognizing the device right?? If so, how do I rectify this?? This device is SUPPOSED to be supported under Linux so I just need a nudge in the right direction.
Cheers
Jason
PS, since I've had no joy here, I'll cc it to the cooker list too. Thanks for the help all.|
