-snip- Hi i got a smartmedia reader and its emulated to be a scsi device (actually that is on a debian machine but the difference should not be too big) do an "lsmod" as root and check if you got "scsi-mod" and "usb-storage" loaded if not you gotta probably add it to your /etc/modules (i hope for you that thats enough) here is a snip of my "lsmod" command: Module Size Used by Tainted: P NVdriver 944576 10 (autoclean) audio 38272 0 (unused) pwc 39136 0 usb-storage 20764 0 (unused) scsi_mod 80584 1 [usb-storage] nls_cp437 4384 2 (autoclean) vfat 9500 2 (autoclean) fat 29752 0 (autoclean) [vfat] i2c-viapro 3848 0 (unused) apm 9276 0 es1371 27008 1 ac97_codec 9696 0 [es1371] it87 7104 0 i2c-proc 6368 0 [it87] i2c-isa 1220 0 (unused) tuner 8164 1 (autoclean) tvaudio 9856 0 (autoclean) (unused) bttv 60608 0 videodev 4672 3 [pwc bttv] i2c-algo-bit 7148 1 [bttv] i2c-core 12992 0 [i2c-viapro it87 i2c-proc i2c-isa tuner tvaudio bttv i2c-algo-bit] ne2k-pci 5056 1 8390 6016 0 [ne2k-pci] (notice scsi-mod and usb-storage) After that you need to add a line to your etc fstab here a snip of mine (your device might be a different number): /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 This should all work if you have the hotplug stuff and the usb-utils (or whatever they are called in mandrake) installed. A good thing is to install the package "usbviev" so you can see first if its recognized cause then it should be loaded too by "hotplug" Note : You need a kernel with usb-storage enabled. As i sayd i didnt try this on my mandrake machine its the debian one so it might be a different procedure. Cheers Florian
