I've got a USB sandisk Compact Flash reader. I can get it to work by loading the following modules:
usb-storage 64380 1 ehci-hcd 16328 0 (unused) usb-uhci 25324 0 (unused) usbcore 67168 1 [usb-storage ehci-hcd usb-uhci] I have scsi generic built into the kernel. In order to mount it I have to run: gentoo usb # /usr/local/bin/sg_map # Note: the devfs pseudo file system is present /dev/sg0 /dev/sda /dev/sg1 /dev/sdb I don't see that in most of the instructions I've found on the web, but I've mostly found stuff written for red hat. After running rg_map, I can mount the CF, but most of the time it fails on the first try with: gentoo usb # /bin/mount /mnt/photo mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems gentoo usb # /bin/mount /mnt/photo mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems gentoo usb # /bin/mount /mnt/photo on the third time it worked. The failures generate the following kernel messages: sdb : READ CAPACITY failed. sdb : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Additional sense indicates Medium not present sdb : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. sdb: Write Protect is off /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun1: I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 2097144 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 2097144 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0 ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.

Is there a solution, or is this what you get for a $20 gadget? -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
