Wrong block device when trying to mount a usb flash drive



Hello,

When I try to mount my flash drive I got the following message:

	mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device


Then I asked myself if I had the right device.  While trying to find
what could be the right device, I found that maybe my system got the
wrong usb driver by taking a look at /proc/bus/usb/devices:


T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 2
B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
S:  Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.11+4 uhci_hcd
S:  Product=Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB
S:  SerialNumber=0000:00:07.2

C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=ub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms


If my system got the wrong driver how can I point to the right one which
I think should be usb-storage?

If I have the right driver then how can I find on which device to mount
it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bernard
