Hi,
I've bought an USB flash drive (Kingston Datatraveler II Plus). I
thought that a simple "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey" under root was enough
to play with the stuff. But no. It says:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
I'm fighting for (a too long) while to try to figure out how to acceed the
drive.
Note it works perfectly on my laptop running an old Mandrake 9. The
problem comes on my desktop running RH9...
I have no idea of what to do to make that stuff working. Any idea would be
very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
Guillaume
PS. Below some messages that might help to understand what's going on...
