I'm using a mello MP3 player, now this has worked fine on a win 2000 Tosh laptop I used to have so I have no reason to doubt the player or the cable at the moment.
I'm using redhat 7.1 so usb support is enabled and I have rebuilt the kernel to include generic scsi support. Here is the dmesg output usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2 hub.c: Cannot enable port 1 of hub 1, disabling port. hub.c: Maybe the USB cable is bad? hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 3 I have tried mounting the device using sda1-4 with no joy, when I try this the mount point just shows the same directory structure found under /proc/bus/usb. These are the messages dmesg shows when I try this.... Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 128000 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB) usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 606 sda: test WP failed, assume Write Protected sda: sda1 SCSI device (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. SCSI device sda: 128000 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB) usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 653 sda: test WP failed, assume Write Protected sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table SCSI device (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. SCSI device sda: 128000 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB) usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 706 sda: test WP failed, assume Write Protected sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table ...and here is the typical command line results when I try to mount unable to read partition table [root@inbred 001]# umount /mnt/mello [root@inbred 001]# mount -t usbdevfs /dev/sda4 /mnt/mello [root@inbred 001]# ls -l /mnt/mello total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jul 7 22:57 001 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 7 22:57 devices -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 7 22:57 drivers [root@inbred 001]# ls -l /mnt/mello/001 total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Jul 7 22:57 001 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Jul 7 22:57 003 [root@inbred 001]# Am I missing something or is something really wrong? I know the flash card has data on it as the mp3 player works fine with it's existing data. I have also tried mounting the device using type vfat as someone in the archives suggested that all cards are default formatted dos but this leaves the mount point empty. Which scsi device should I be using? Will it be in the range /dev/sda1-4? >From the dmesg output above I'm assuming /dev/sda3 but that looked no different to the others.... Thanks. jon.
