Well there is one other thing, is generic SCCI support enabled? This can be compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module. lsmod should show the generic SCCI module as sg. For example on my system, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /sbin/lsmod | grep sg sg 24420 0 (unused) And if SCCI support is in the kernel (either as a module or compiled in) and you still get an error trying to mount /dev/sda1, then I would suggest trying to mount another SCCI drive. ie. Try mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb/ or mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/ I am not sure but I seem to recall that with generic scci, the first 'thingy' to use it gets the first scci device ie /dev/sda and the next 'thingy' gets the next scci device. So if something is using /dev/sda1 - for example a cd writer - then the usb device will be the next available scci device. regards, John Kelly - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
