Hi experts. I have an OpenSUSE 10.3 distro runnung on vmware workstation 4.5.1 I recently enabled vmware to "Automatically connect new USB devices to this virtual machine when it has focus" Upon plugging in my 2GB Transcend Jetflash pendrive, dmesg does not give me a /dev/<what> device id for me to mount the device. Neither does the memory stick get automatically mounted. The following is the excerpt from "dmesg" output that pertains to the memory stick. usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-1: new device found, idVendor=058f, idProduct=6387 usb 1-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1: Product: Mass Storage Device usb 1-1: Manufacturer: JetFlash usb 1-1: SerialNumber: HYO32GIV usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 4 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb-storage: device scan complete Can someone help me out with getting this (and I have another usb hard disk with 2 NTFS partitions) device mounted and usable.
