Another USB Mass Storage Device Problem - MP3 Player
I recently bought an MP3 Player (LG). Before buying it I tried it on a Red Flag Linux system and it worked fine (ie I could mount it - infact it mounted automatically and fired up xmms). Once I got it home and plugged it into my SuSE8.1 box things weren't so rosy. Plugging it in I get the following entries in /var/log/messages Mar 20 11:31:42 dipsy kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1/1, assigned device number 4 Mar 20 11:31:42 dipsy kernel: usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x43e/0x7004) is not claimed by any active driver. usbview gives the following: LGE MP3 Player(MF-PD365 Manufacturer: LG Electronics, Inc.

IIANM, this means your kernel does not have a module to allow you to use it.

I believe you have 2 choices. 1, download a newer kernel and hope it works with that hardware. 2. Google for info on that hardware and see if you can find a patch for that hardware, patch your kernel source, and recompile your kernel. Since it worked in the other Linux, the info should be there (maybe that is what the store did).
