Are you plugged in through a hub or directly to a usb port? PNY recommends going direct to the USB port for Windows. Not sure why it should make a difference, though. Again, I'm using the SmartMedia reader not the CompactFlash reader. I also have the stock 8.2 kernel loaded and I am running devfs (you might try turning it on/off depending on whether it is on or off now). It sounds like the reader is detected okay, but it is failing to assign it to a scsi port. You could try to manually create the scsi port under /dev and see if that fixes it. It would be something like /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc. Upto /disc, everything is just a folder. I'm not sure how to create the /disc part which is the actual device, though. Probably, not much help, huh? Joe
