Hi group, I can't mount a usb music stick with a fat fs because a drive letter eg /dev/sda has not been assigned. Here's dmesg:
<snip> usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 2 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB FLASH DISK V2.0 2120 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 usb-storage: device scan complete usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 3 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB FLASH DISK V2.0 2120 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 usb-storage: device scan complete And $cat /proc/partitions only lists the two hard-drives. The device works OK in another gentoo unit with the same kernel config and modules as far as usb is concerned. I did #mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 and tried to mount it there and then tried /dev/sda1 but got "/dev/sda not a valid block device" and "/dev/sda1 does not exist" respectively. Yes, the fat and vfat modules are inserted. Maxim ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
