Try a mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sda1. Your device is on sdc1 or sc on partition 1. Sid Boyce wrote:

Hey Group; I see a problem with SuSE 9.# and a running USB HD.
Ref. -" mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 " ERROR: mount /dev/sda1 is not a block device
I have tried booting and sometimes it works. I have tried adding it to /etc/fstab. And no matter which kernel or thing I try - sometimes it will mount right after booting and others it won't. In any case (not running KDE) it seems to only work at boot time and for a short order. After about 10 minutes it will not mount at all. I have tried power on the HD first, plugged or unplugged and sometimes it works. It works about 25% of the time is the problem.
Which deamon could be causing this problem? Are is it a modules, fs or USB problem.
dmesg should give some clues, I have a USB card reader (sdb) and a 120G HD (sdc). The modules needed are usb-storage and SCSI hard disk in addition to *hci-hcd.
