I have a usb storage device (a casio digital camera). When I plug the camera into my (just updated) cooker box, everything right seems to happen except that I don't get actual device nodes for the partitions (or the "whole disc" device) under /dev/scsi/.... Here is what my messages log showed when I plugged the device into the usb port: Sep 22 17:50:54 pc kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 2 Sep 22 17:50:54 pc kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x7cf/0x1001) is not claimed by any active driver.

The third line is in there because I enabled DEBUG in /sbin/hotplug. Notice also: [brian@pc brian]$ find /dev/scsi /dev/scsi /dev/scsi/host0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /dev/scsi/host1 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0 The /dev/scsi/host1 entries appeared after the device was plugged in. There are no "disc" or "part..." entries however. This is my problem. I cannot mount partitions on the usb storage device without those nodes. I am booting with kernel options: auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=2108 hda=ide-scsi devfs=mount Any ideas? b. BTW: Mounting partitions from this device has most definately worked in the past. I cannot poinpoint exactly where it went awry however. -- Brian J. Murrell
