Getting USB CF Reader to work [SuSE 9.0]
Hi all, I've searched the archives and have tried all the various options for hardware with this reader. Reader unplugged/computer off. Computer off/reader plugged in/cf card inserted. acpi=off as a boot option. I still can't get my reader to work. My CF Reader is recognized when I click on Hardware Information in the YaST Control Center. I saved some of the info and here is a portion of it: === Begin Paste === UniqueID=B3Fu.mQjyTXZ2Nr3 ParentID=B3Fu.SX27nwPi+uA HWClass=unknown Model=SHUTTLE SCM Micro USBAT-02 Configured=no Available=yes Needed=no Active=unknown Bus=0x86 Slot=0x102 VendorID=u04e6 DeviceID=1010 DeviceName=USBAT-2 CompactFlash Card Reader VendorName=Shuttle Technology Inc. SubDeviceName=SCM Micro USBAT-02 SubVendorName=SHUTTLE RevisionName=0.05 USBGUID=04e610100000000000000000 Hotplug=4 HWClassList=000000080040 Res.Baud=1500000,0,0,0x00,0x00 === End Paste --- It appears that SuSE is seeing it but not letting me use it. Here is my /etc/fstab file === Begin Paste === /dev/hdc3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0 /dev/hdc1 /windows/D ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=iso8859-1 0 0 /dev/hdc2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 === End Paste === The line breaks were added by myself for readability :) Anyway, any help would be great. If you need more info just let me know. Thanks :) Will

I just tried the following command with different partition values and I finally found it (as root): mount -o uid=richard,gid=users -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sda1 make sure the mount point exists (/media/sda1), and the uid exists. change /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sd(a-z)(0-9) (loop trough it sda1, sdb1, sdc1, etc) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Do a hwinfo --usb. This will give you the device: /dev/sd(a-z). I find that it is usually sda1 or sda4. Ed Harrison SuSE 9.0, Kernel 2.4.21-99 PolarBar Mailer 1.25a
Now, that is a very useful command - I had not used it before... :-) Regards, Des Aubery... (www.adtherm.com - des@adtherm.com) On Sat, 2004-01-03 at 20:31, Ed Harrison wrote:
