[06-29-03 23:57]: [snip ...] After I couldn't get my Dig Camera to work with SuSE I decided to buy a cardreader. It is a Belkin USB media reader with slots for 8 different cards. So far so good.
I connected it and it came up somewhere ( cannot remember where) as a compact flash reader. However for some reason I had to restart my computer and now it ( the computer) doesn't start anymore.
You say nothing specific about your equipment or version of SuSE, so you force guestimation.
Ok. Sorry about that. Using SuSe 8.2 with a 1GHZ Intel CPU, 40GB HDD and 512 RAM
Since your system started properly before you plugged-in the card-reader, unplug the card-reader until your system is booted, then plug-in the card-reader.
I plugged in the reader ( on a running sysstem) and looked in USB devices. Both USB ports are recognized . One is the printer and the other one is the card-reader. Can you please advise me what to do now? I tried mount /sda but it says nothing in etc/fstab. Thanks again for your help.
It would be /dev/sda1 not just sda.... And since this is a reader for 8 different devices, you may need to do additional diddling like I had to do in the following script (for a 4 device reader) #!/bin/sh echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 2" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 3" > /proc/scsi/scsi cat /proc/scsi/scsi I would plug in your reader and then run the above script. If it shows (via the cat command) that it now has 4 devices showing (sda1,sda2,etc), then modify it for 8 devices. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
