I never had a problem with Vaio floppy, in Red Hat of course :) The general rule is "load usb-storage from the bottom (e.g. hotplug takes care of it as told by modules.usbmap) and load scsi stuff from the top (in other words, it should get autoloaded when you open /dev/sda - check your modules.conf).
The map is generated from tables that modules cary, it's a special ELF section. You never need to edit it. Y-E does not need a specific entry, it's a standard device with CBI protocol. -- Pete > From: Joe Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 23:04:32 -0700 > I'm very close to having the USB floppy drive on my Sony Vaio working > correctly -- all that's left is getting it to insmod the sd_mod module > automatically when I plug in the drive (it is insmod'ing the scsi_mod > and usb-storage modules).
