How do I get his USB SanDisk Reader to be properly recognized and accessible, please?
Along similar lines, I have a DataFab flash memory reader that works fine on my laptop but not on my desktop machine. My laptop has only a single IDE disk and mounting /dev/sda1 mounts the flash memory reader just fine. Both machines are running up-to-date copies of SuSE 8.0. On my desktop, however, I have 3 SCSI hard disks and 0 IDE peripherals of any type. The SCSI drives come up as sda, sdb, and sdc. Hence, I tried to mount /dev/sdd1 to no avail. Yes indeed, usb-storage is loaded along with usbcore and usb-uhci with a 2.4.18 kernel (laptop has SuSE's kernel, desktop has my own 2.4.18 kernel). The error I receive when attempting to mount /dev/sdd1 (the flash reader) on my desktop is: mount: /dev/sdd1 is not a valid block device From /var/log/messages: Jun 30 15:47:48 tux kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 5 Jun 30 15:47:48 tux kernel: usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x7c4/0xa005) is not claimed by any active driver.

However, I don't see a usb-storage subdirectory anywhere in /proc (I thought I did on the laptop - was I mistaken?). Any other thoughts?
