First, next time, please start a new thread instead of replying to
an existing one.
That said, you'll have to provide more information. Can you give us
the
kernel messages from dmesg related to the USB stick? Are you sure
you
have USB disk support and generic scsi disk support in your kernel?

Sorry about replying instead of starting again.
Are there any just-X11 browsers besides links -g that I can use?
Whenever I press the back arrow it goes back and deletes the email I
was writing.
Anyway, the only messages in dmesg (I do not know why) are keypress
events!?!
I used to be informative, but now all it has are keypresses...
I have SCSI support, and USB mass storage (with all sub-options)
compiled-in.
Do I need to add support for SCSI disks, CDROMS, generic devices, etc
in order for USB versions of those to work?
Thanks,

Hello Nick,
You need modules for SCSI device support, SCSI disk support and please
enable 'Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device' as it helps with Multi Card
Readers. As long as the USB is hotpluggable, you should install hotplug
and udev packages.
A good idea is to put the USB Disk in and to have look in dmesg
and/or /var/log/messages.
Normally I the disk should recognized by the kernel and produce at least
some messages. (May be a lsusb show if there is something recognized.)
Best regards Joerg

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] mounting USB flash disk
I finally just unmerged syslog-ng and reemerged it, but it still had the same error. It also failed on both with both /dev/tty12 and /dev/console. syslog-ng -s /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf;echo $? returns 0 :-( I ran lsusb -vv and I have attached the output (minus flashdrive serial number) Luckily, cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is correct. Are there any other good loggers? I am currently emerging metalog... thanks for all the help, nick Hello Nick, I checked your syslog-ng.conf. The only difference is logging to /dev/console instead of /dev/tty12. Just give it a try. I suggest to solve the problems in the order as they appear while booting. So first of all you need an working syslog-ng. I installed version 1.6.8-r1 with default syslog-ng.conf. Please try syslog-ng -s /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf;echo $? to check your config file. After this please check your hotplug config: cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug It should be /sbin/udevsend. To find out what goes wrong you should make an lsusb which is provided by sys-apps/usbutils.

[gentoo-ppc-user] mounting USB flash disk
I am running Gentoo linux and have had problems mounting USB flash drives. I was wondering if someone could give me steps on how to mount (the device shows up on /proc/bus/usb/devices as Crucial Gizmo, and says: T: Bus: 02 Lev=01 Port=00 Cnt=-1 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 Vendor=0634 ProdID=3400 Rev= 0.01 S: Manufacturer=Crucial S: Product=Gizmo S: SerialNumber=XXX C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=120mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.)

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] problems with PowerBook G4
Hello, I'm Sik and I want to ask you some questions: I have a PbG4 867MHz 12 (with a nvidia) and I can't have running the airport and MOL. Your TI-Book have a radeon or a nvidia? Because I only can take 8bits of color with MOL and I can see any thing. The second one is about the airport, it's the old one 11Mbps? 1) it is a radeon (mobility?) either 7000 or 9200 (I forget) with 32 MB of VRAM. I got mol to work by reemerging it with the correct USE-flags set, then running molvconfig. MOL works at either 256(8bit) or thousands(16bit) of colors, but not millions. 2)Yes, it is the original airport, not extreme. There is a complicated precedure involving MOL that lets you use an extreme under linux that is detailed on the gentoo forums. nick -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
