I've just ordered 9.1, but it's on back order. I'm hoping that will fix my problem of not getting a thumb drive (or a cd recorder) to work.
The 2.6 kernel sees my cd as /dev/hdc, but cdrecord wants to see it as a scsi device. I can read cd's and dvd's just fine, but I can't get cdrecord to work.
You could use the SCSI emulation for that ;-) There's a description how to do this at the SuSE FAQ pages...
So I went and got a thumb drive hoping I could just transfer data to it and then use dos (blech!) to burn cd's. Unfortunatly, thumb drives also use the scsi system for creating a virtual disk! After some mucking around I finally got the following in my /var/log/messages:

Which looks like the kernel can see the drive. But when I try to mount it:
linux:/sata0 # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/trek mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems linux:/sata0 # mount -t fat /dev/sda /mnt/trek mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel
The thumb drive has been written to by winxp, so it ought to be vfat. The fat fs type _is_ supported by the kernel, I can read floppies just fine.
The kernel cold plugs the thumb drive, and reports it's attached to sda1.
My fstab entry is: /dev/sda /mnt/trek vfat auto,users 0 0
It seems like I'm almost there, but I can't figure out what I'm missing. Anyone else figured this out, or do I just wait for 9.1 to show up and hope things will work?
Any comments appreciated!
Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
