RE: SanDisk ImageMate mount problem...
Craig,
Thanks for the info.
I put the SanDisk back into the Win2K box and it identifies itself as an
"SDDR55USB/SM". On my Gentoo Linux partition I can use usbview and the
device pops up as an ImageMate (don't recall any model number through).
However it still gets the same error.
As for new kernels, I just compiled my first ever kernel under Debian last
night. It booted fine but couldn't find any modules. There were two things
about the build process that I noted.
1) make modules said it had nothing to do
2) make modules_install failed, but that might be because I hadn't created a
subdirectory under /lib/modules for this particular kernel version
(12.4.18).
These problems are sufficient for another post, but I haven't done "due
diligence" looking for the answers yet and so why bother the reflector.
Cheers,
-rick

First, you don't say what model of ImageMate you're using. Only some
of them are Mass Storage USB devices; the others won't work with Linux,
as far as I know.
Second, I was never able to get my ImageMate SDDR-31 working with a
2.4.18 kernel. It worked with 2.4.17, and then again with 2.4.19-pre2,
and I've had no trouble since then (I'm now on 2.4.19-rc1-ac2). So
you might want to try changing kernels if nothing else works.
Third, for the USB Mass Storage ImageMates, you need the Generic SCSI
and scsi-disk kernel modules loaded, in addition to usb-uhci and
usb-storage.
