How To Mount SanDisk CF Card Reader under Suse 8.0?
A friend/neighbor is here with his laptop and trying get SuSE 8.0 to access the CF card in his USB SanDisk reader. Anyone done this successfully? If so, could you provide some paint-by-numbers instructions, please? (Tried a Google search to no avail.) Thanks! doc -- "And God said, let there be light ... "

I make a directory in my home called mnt then in that I make on called camera I plug in the USB card reader and type as root: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/jon/mnt/camera and then my pics are in /home/jon/mnt/camera Hope that helps
Thank you for the assistance! I did as you instructed but am receiving the error "mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" I gather that there is a previous step I need to perform to get the CF reader to be recognized as sda1? Thanks! doc On Saturday 29 June 2002 17:54, Jon Doe wrote:

OK, did a little more digging ... the SuSE manual has nothing of value re. this, so went to the Net via Google. First we poked around in Yast and looked at Hardware Info -- the CFII device shows up there on IRQ11. Tried ... # insmod usbcore # /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/usb/usbcore.o # insmod usb-uhci # /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/usb/usb-uhci.o and # tail /var/log/kern.log all to no avail ... discovered that Debian and SuSE store things in different locations ... grrr. I am fearful that if I thrash around in root too much I may really mess things up on his laptop ... How do I get his USB SanDisk Reader to be properly recognized and accessible, please?

Assuming that the usb-storage module has been loaded, the missing step here is as follows: As root(with the CF card inserted in the reader,) run /sbin/fdisk -l This will list all the currently connected storage devices. One of them will be the CF card - it should be obvious which. If you're using the PCMCIA version of the SanDisk reader, it isn't necessary to load the usb-storage module. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE
It is the USB version of the SanDisk reader. Only /dev/hda1 & /dev/hda2 show up. :-( doc On Saturday 29 June 2002 19:54, Jay Vollmer wrote:

I assume that you're certain that /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 are IDE disks

certain? At this point I am certain of nothing. His laptop has only one physical hdd but I seem to recall that linux creates logical drives and that hda1 and hda2 are standard naming protocols in SuSE. You are speculating that hda2 may be the CFII? Thanks! doc

hda2 won't be the compact flash can you run "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" and paste the entire output in an email (it might be a page or so long, but itll be useful). if there is no reference to the usb cf reader in that output, then something is amiss - either the reader isnt supported in linux (unlikely but possible), or a module isn't being loaded.

I never got USB to work until I done the following for a USB storage device. You might give this a try. In /etc/sysconfig/kernel I have this line: "reiserfs usbcore usb-uhci" You may not have the reiserfs, but I had to add the other two modules to get it to work.

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?

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
