 |

I have a usb flash drive see this post and my /dev/sd* device is no being seen. I was able to use it once to mount the flash drive, but now it doesn't even show up. Is this something I create manually, or do I have to enable something? Thanks for the help.

Jarhead,
You need the USB root hyb driver for your hardware, the usb-storage module, SCSI Support, and SCSI Dsk support.
The FLASH drive then comes up as a SCSI device, partitions and all. Its likely to be a Windows formatted volume, so it will be one partition with the vfat filesystem. You need that too.
With all those kernel bits and pieces, /dev/sd* and /dev/sd** should just appear when the USB FLASH drive is plugged in.
Can you see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices ?

ok, making progress. I am able to mount the device with "mount -t usbfs /dev/sda /mnt/usbstick." Looking in /mnt/usbstick shows this:
| Code: |
001 002 003 004 devices
|
Is this normal. I tried to copy some information to /mnt/usbstick, but it complained that the operation was not permitted. Thoughts?

No, you've mounted the Kernel's USB information filesystem onto that directory 
You need to compile the correct modules into the kernel, as NeddySeagoon said. Then you can just do "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick". |

Ok, found the needed modules. There are some things that are complained of being undefined when I do "make && make modules_install."

Does something else need to be enabled to define these? Thanks

| I noticed that there is a new feature in the block devices section of the kernel that caused problems with accessing my USB camera which I had hitherto accessed on /dev/sda*. However, when I enabled the low performance USB block driver /dev/sda wasn't created. Instead /dev/uba was created, but the kernel was unable to read the data. In otherwords it was useless to me. I recompiled my kernel w/o the low perf USB block driver and the behaviour returned to what it had been before. |

I don't see anything like that in the kernel config. I am stuck using 2.6.8-gentoo-r1 for the time being because the later ones do not build properly because of the errors shown above. I'll keep my eye out for that in the future though.

| Well, assuming you don't have a SCSI system, turn off all the "SCSI low level drivers" in the kernel config. The only things you need in the SCSI section are "SCSI disk support" and "SCSI generic support". Turn everything else off. |
