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.
I just solved my own problem. Make sure you have the ide-scsi module loaded. I don't understand why, but loading that module solves the problem. 1) Make sure usbview sees the device in question. 2) Insure usbcore, usb-uhci, usb-storage, and ide-scsi modules are loaded 3) cat /proc/partitions to see if "extra" stuff is there (that is, partitions which are not on known hard drives) 4) mount one of the "extra" partitions - it is quite likely the flash memory reader 5) Check /var/log/messages for "helpful" clues. I hope this helps somebody else. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
