Linux 2.2, eh? Not much "official" USB support there AFAIK, but if it used to work, what happened? what changed? It did used to work, right? and really, what has changed on your system since it last worked? > # /etc/fstab: static file system information. > # > # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> > <pass> > /dev/hda1 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 > 1 > proc /proc proc defaults 0 > 0 > /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 > 0 > /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 > 0 > /dev/sda /mnt/usb vfat noauto,sync 0 > 0 So it expects the USB device to be /dev/sda. Statically. What modules are loaded? (output of 'lsmod') You may just need the sd_mod module loaded (or whatever it's named).
