You'll need scsi, usb and mass storage support:
| Code: |
Device Drivers -------->
SCSI Device Support --------->
[*] legacy /proc/scsi/ support
<*> SCSI disk support
<*> SCSI generic support
USB Support -------------->
<*> Support for USB
[*] USB device filesystem
<*> USB Mass Storage support
|
Then after you plugin you usb flash memory you have to mount it.
Usually it comes up as /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 or something
On my computer this device appears after I put in my flash card.
Don't forget to unmount it before removing it from your computer

Well you have the device... /dev/sda1
You just make a dir to mount it in , let say :
| Code: | | mkdir /mnt/usbflash |
and then you mount the flash device:
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash |
nb. this way it will try to figure out the filesystem itself, works for me both with my usb-flash-ring and my usb-harddrive, but maybe you have to specify the fs yourself...?
you could do a:
and figure out more yourself

HiFidk gave you an extremly detailed description. Use theses commands on a shell. Without some more infos WHAT exactly is not working, we won't be able to help you. |

O, I forgot to mention the UHCI (USB Host controller interface) it's under USB support as well in your kernel. You need to have that too.
But if you already have found /dev/sda then it's ok I suppose.
Then just follow HiFidk howto.
And you can always check last few lines of dmesg. If you do this before and after you put in the usb card you're supposed to see a few lines that state that the kernel actually found the device.
