You should probably also have scsi-generic loaded as a module
modprobe sg
You could install the package scsiadd, then run
scsiadd -s
to scan the scsi devices.
On occasion (no idea why), I suddenly needed to mount sdb1 instead of sda1.
I use this sandisk reader on 2.4.18 without a problem, but it is not a
stock kernel.
Let me know if you need more info.

Hi
I recently installed kernel image 2.4.18-686 under Woody but found I was
unable to mount my Sandisk CF reader (SDDR-31), whereas under 2.4.17-686
this works flawlessly.
So I get the source - debian kernel-source-2.4.18-4, configure it, compile.
Still no go, but I get a handy error message (I expect because I
turned on kernel debugging):
# mount /mnt/cam
resize_dma_pool: unknown device type -1
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
I'm using the same usb/scsi configure options as in my successful
2.4.17 kernel, and the appropriate modules all seem to be loaded:
# lsmod grep 'usb\|scsi'
usb-storage 48000 0 (unused)
scsi_mod 84984 2 [sd_mod usb-storage]
usbcore 48192 0 [uhci usb-storage]
... usb-storage is unused though, as if the kernel can't find the
device - which I guess is what the original error is saying.
Anyone have any clues on this?
Anything more I should try?
Does this look like a genuine bug that I should report - I'm new to debian so
I'm unused to the protocols for this, but as I say it works fine in
2.4.17-686 whether I use the pre-compiled binary or complile it myself.
