 |

hello,
i have a sandisk m240 mp3 player and i want to to show up in "Computer" when i plug it in. there are numerous topics on gnome-volume-manager, but none seem to have the problem i have.
i think i need to step back a sec.
soi just installed 2006.0 with gnome etc.
gnome-volume-manager is running along with hal, udev and hotplug.
when i plug the usb mp3 player in, the kernel does seem to recognize it.
here is dmesg for you

looks good to me. the trouble is that g-v-m does not put it in "computer" in nautilus. furthermore, i can't seem to find and mount it with root. i.e. i don't know what device it is listed as
i have tried
mount -t msdos /dev/sda /mnt/sandisk
and it complains that i have
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device
hmmmmmmmm? i have also tried /dev/scd0, /dev/scd1, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1 etc Also, g-v-m is detecting SOMETHING. when i run g-v-m from the command line i get

anyways, this doesn't seem to be a kernel problem (since things are being detected fine, but who knows).
any ideas?

| have you compiled your own kernel or are you using genkernel? My guess would be that you are missing support for usb mass storage devices or scsi disk support. Maybe these are just compiled as modules and are not getting loaded. Try modprobe sd-mod and modprobe usb-storage. |
