Hi Everybody.
I've just discovered that I'm unable to mount USB pendrives on my laptop.
Upon examination, I also find that I have no /dev/sda1. I assume that this is the reason why. If so, can I just recreate it with mknod?
Can anyone tell me what the parameters are for creating /dev/sda1 with mknod?

Does the syslog say it finds the drive, and assigns a /dev/ to it? Seems to me it doesnt, or the system would have created it "on the
fly"...
Can you please give us a copy of what /var/log/messages say when you
plug the
pendrive into the computer?
Here are the modules loaded:

Seems to me that the system lacks a few daemons (cant say which at this point in time) You dont seem to get the stick assigned to a device. It registers something, but nothing specific is assigned. This is an example from my own box as i insert a USB stick: May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: usb 4-4: new device found, idVendor=1976, idProduct=6025 May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: usb 4-4: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: usb 4-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized May 24 13:46:57 weasle kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
