Or cannot read from the card-reader after booting?
That's it . Cannot , or rather don't know how to do that Randy Stanislaw wrote how to add on the line in /etc/fstab what I did. But now I'm stucked.
From a clean boot w/o the card-reader present. Plug-in the card-reader and wait. Approx 5 seconds you should hear a beep indicating hotplug has recognized (iianm) the device and a line should automatically appear after an empty line at the bottom of /etc/fstab, ie: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.4G0qp7e_XDE
Insert a memory card in the reader and you should be able to mount the device, ie: mount /media/sdb1 Then as user you should have access to the memory card as if it was a floppy disk or a hard drive. It is not necessary to make any changes to /etc/fstab and, I would suggest that you remove any that you have made. This works on my equipment and I have a two port usb with access to an epson usb printer and a PNY compact flash card-reader or an Iomega 250 Zip drive. note: My equip is ancient, 733 P6 HomeMadE with only 250w power supply and the cpu fan has been replaced (necessary) 3 times. Please indicate .. How you are sucked .. Be specific and verbose, my esp is on the fritzz (never was very good and the Budweiser dosen't help <grin>). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
