Dear Group,
someone has to do the answering - now, it is myself.
Well, this is only a suspection, after I solved the problem for a different
PC:
1) usbdevfs must be mounted (check with mount). If it is not, you can manually
enter
mount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb
or you add a line like this in the /etc/fstab (not before proc!):
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,users,rw,devmode=0666 0 0
2) given that, you can check one of theses commands:
lsusb (should list something!)
usbview (nearly the same, but KDE)
hotplug usb (if installed, detects new devices on USB)
If none of the above works, there must be a hardware failure.
3) mount your usbstick like this:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
(in case there are other scsi devices, it will be sda2 or up).
Any further comments?
Regards
Ralf
