I am trying to get a new portable audio recorder (the H4 Zoom -- http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1901) to connect to my Debian testing (amd64) box. The device is compliant with the USB 2.0 mass storage standard and I can get it to work on another machine running Japanese Ubuntu (it automounts the device when I connect it).
After loading the usb_storage module (modprobe usb_storage) I connect the device and tell it to connect to the computer. Watching my syslog (tail -f /var/log/syslog), the connect sequence seems to be going very well until the end, when it terminates in the following error: scsi.agent[15554]: sd_mod: can't be loaded (for disk) lsmod shows that I do not have the sd_mod module loaded, and I'm unable to load it with "modprobe sd_mod" -- FATAL: Module sd_mod not found. Checking my kernel configs (according to information I read here: http://linuxgazette.net/133/tag.html) it turns out that I have the CONFIG_SCSI and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD modules compiled into the kernel. For what it's worth, I'm using a kernel that a friend helped me compile. chappa:/tmp# grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD /boot/config-2.6.13.4.05102203 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y chappa:/tmp# grep -i sd /boot/config-2.6.13.4.05102203 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y Any ideas why the sd_mod module can't be found during the USB connect sequence? The complete output of syslog during a connect attempt is below. Thank you in advance for any help you're able to provide.
