I do that job with a script from SuSE ... it is called rescan-scsi-bus.sh
here is it : http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh or have a look at google to find it
I have downloaded the script and rescan scsi bus with it but it get my system hang each time I run it, I tried to run it several times
it works fine on my system ... but I use SCSI not for my primary harddisk (/ is mounted form IDE)
but I was wrong to tell you about it - I need it to get the firewire-devices ...
/dev/sda1 still not a valid block device
It is in Redhat /dev/sda1?
if you have other scsi-disks it might be somewhere else ... (OK, this might be a little stupid note ...)
I use 32MB Microlab memory stick, it work well with Redhat 8.0 I recompile the kernel with scsi support, usb support but it does'nt help
too
Any other idea?
- use the redhat kernel for gentoo
- check for differences in USB-section between your Kernel in Gentoo and the Redhat-Kernel
- use usbview or /proc/bus/usb/devices to gain more information about your usb-stick (expecially vendor and device id) to check internet or against kernel ...
Kernel 2.6 is also a tip for firewire :-( I messed it up ...
it creates for you the nodes and makes them usable ... (or update to Kernel 2.6 there is a new system which is working well ...)
