Re: usb mass storage problem

["Thomas R. Shemanske" <trs@hecke.dartmouth.edu>]

You did not say whether you had compiled SCSI (disk) support into your 
kernel.  You need to do this even if you have no scsi card to enable the 
usb mass storage stuff


CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_SCSI=m

Also, when I mount my usb storage devices, I just mount it as /dev/sda1 
with an auto filesystem.

My mount shows:
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /sandisk type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=trs)

My /proc/scsi shows
hecke-trs$ ls /proc/scsi/
scsi  sg/  usb-storage-0/
