 |
|
I recently got one of those sweet 256mb USB disks. It works perfectly under windows but won't mount under gentoo.
I think I got everything set up correctly.
dmesg says:
| Code: |

I don't know why usb-uhci and usb-ohci. I've deleted usb-uhci form modules.autoload since I figured out that my motherboard need ohci. Everything else seems to be fine though.
When I try to mount it with
| Code: |
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usb
|
I get this:
| Code: |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
|
btw. /dev/sda points to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
And I've already tried to modprobe vfat (module loads without problems) but no luck either. |

I know on my system I have to do | Code: | | mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda |
You need to point to the partation you want to mount, not the device itself.

hi,
use fdisk or cfdisk
to create partition(s) on your usb-stick, then use mkdosfs -F 32
to create a vfat-filesystem.
greetings,

I've already tired to mount sda1, sda2, sda3. I get the same error with those.
I tried
| Code: |
fdisk /dev/sda
fdisk /dev/sda1
cfdisk /dev/sda
cfdisk /dev/sda1
|
I only get an "unable to read /dev/sda" error. btw. I'm not sure if I really have to reformat the usb-stick and create a partition on it because it's already FAT formated. It works under windows. And there is data on it.
After I did those fdisk commands I got some new errors in dmesg:
| Code: |
Device 08:01 not ready.
I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 0
FAT: unable to read boot sector
Device 08:00 not ready.
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
Device 08:01 not ready.
I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 0
Device 08:00 not ready.
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
Device 08:01 not ready.
I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 0
|
Any other ideas??? Pls! |

Try
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda /mnt/usbkey |
Notice that it's sda and not sda1.
It's because your usb key dont have any partition. It work for me... |

I've already did that about 10 million times.
I get:
| Code: |
/dev/sda: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
|
So I tried:
| Code: |
mount -t vfat /dev /sda /mnt/usb
|
And I get:
| Code: |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
|
again, the same problem.
I read in another thread that this could have to do something with a kernel bug. Here's a link. But I couldn't understand how this should help me... Maybe somone else does. |

Ok... Excuse me, I didn't notice that you already try that.
I have read the link you provide and dont think it help that much...
It's maybe a missing module in your kernel... If you have a spare box, try your key in RedHat. Their kernel have everything compiled in, so if it work it's a good sign.
Other than that, I dont know, maybe this thread can help you

Which kernel version are you using? {i would recommend 2.4.22, with all necessary options included of course}
Are you sure your pen formated under fat32?
Try deleting partition. |
