In my kernel config I have the following selected as modules: *** Under "SCSI support" *** CONFIG_SCSI���������������������"SCSI Support" CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD�������"SCSI disk support" CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR�������"SCSI CD-ROM support" CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG�������"SCSI generic support" *** Under "USB support" *** CONFIG_USB����������������������"Support for USB" CONFIG_USB_STORAGE������"USB Mass Storage support" .....and of course the appropriate USB host controller(s) which it sounds like you already have. �I don't have *any* low level SCSI drivers selected. Also, I don't believe I have the SCSI emulation for IDE set. Once you have all that make sure you've installed and started the "hotplug" package. If not, do the following: emerge hotplug /sbin/depscan.sh rc-update add hotplug default /etc/init.d/hotplug start This setup allows me to use, my pendrive, external hard drive, and external CD-R/RW drive. �They all show up as SCSI devices. �For example, my pendrive is /dev/sdb. �So to mount it I type: mkdir ~/keychain mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 ~/keychain As you can see I've formatted part of mine as a MS-DOS drive so Windows machines will recognize it as well. �I also have a second encrypted partition. -- Ben Maas - Technology Architect Open Technology Systems, LLC ----------------------------------------------------------- eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: � http://www.open-techsys.com Phone: 952.448.3121 Fax: � 952.448.4944 Cell: �612.743.3674 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
