[N == 3/5/6] The problem is, that all distributors did forget to configure LUNs into kernel. I tried RH7.3/8.0 and Mandrake9.0 - always same problem. Just at this time the one and only solution is to build an own kernel with LUNs. I did it and it works! :-)) RH7.3 - 2.4.18-3 recompiled and a standard 2.4.19 - both are doing their usb-job. For a kernel-compilation a developer-station is needed. Perhaps someone is offering an allround-kernel with initrd - I hope so. I did post the problem to RedHat. If a complete kernel-package is offered, it would be easy to install vmlinuz and system-map -> boot modules -> /lib/modules/ ... edit /etc/lilo.conf and save do a [root]$ lilo with grub instead of lilo similar. -- Booted with that kernel lsmod [ if no usb-storage loaded ] modprobe usb-storage tail -f /var/log/messages [ insert your card-reader ] ... and messages tell you what to mount. As I'm running a SCSI-system sda1 == /boot sda2 == swap sda3 == / card-reader's memory-card[s] are recognized as sdb [ not present card ] [ LUN 0 ] sdc [ LUN 1 ] present ] sdc1 mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mycard [ after work do not forget to umount /mnt/mycard ] /mnt/mycard - should exist ;-) If someone is able to compile a kernel with initrd and build instructions for lilo and grub I do re-offer space on my webserver including all : binaries and sources with /usr/src/linux/.config 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 only - no 2.5.** !! I do not know how to build an initrd-kernel and got no idea for grub. Just now I do have no time left to learn initrd and grub and to make tests. Sorry about that. I'm building only fixed and optimized kernels for my system and they will not run with other hardware [ I guess ]. -- mfg Hajo C Jeske UNIX-Software-Entwickler, Unix-Administrator, Daten-Rettung und Komplett-Einrichtung/Upgrade von Linux-Systemen mit Service und Wartung ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
