hello, i got an noname mp3 (mello) player combined with a compact flash reader/writer. in windows you don't need to install a certain driver, the device acts like a removable harddisk. so i guessed it might work in linux as well.
i am currently using kernel 2.4.13 and i enabled the following features to make my cf writer work: SCSI support, SCSI disk support, USB Mass Storage Support. in '/proc/scsi/' there is a directory called 'usb-storage-0' with a file named '0' which contrains the following information: Host scsi0: usb-storage Vendor: Anchor Chips Product: Anchor ATAPI Bridge Serial Number: 000000000001 Protocol: Transparent SCSI Transport: Bulk GUID: 054728100000000000000001 Attached: 1 during boot the following info appears: hub.c USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 142 scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: Model: Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 251904 512-byte hdwr sectors (129 MB) sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled sda: sda1 this sounds good so far (my cf card is 128mb big). however i cannot mount the device. compact flash cards are preformatted to fat 16 filesystem, so i tried this: mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt the result is: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems then: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt result: mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device then: mount /dev/sda /mnt result: /dev/sda: Input/output error mount: /dev/sda has wrong major or minor number then: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt result: mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device well now i'm out of ideas, anyone knows might be wrong? thx in advance, magnus _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
