I'm quoting this from Guy Rouillier's post of June 3 2003. It helped me set up my SanDisk CF+SM reader. It may help if you have two "devices" on the same USB "line". He wrote: Sorry for the delayed response. I don't have time to write a complete howto. However, the site I mentioned has the following Q&A: =================== Q: Why do I only see one device from my multipurpose storage device? A:Some distributions (notably Red Hat) turn off the kernel option CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This prevents usb-storage from automatically detecting all the devices in your removable storage device. You can either recompile your kernel with this option enabled or try; echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" Where IIRC, the first zero is the host (so it is zero if this is your first "SCSI" adapter), the second the channel (which for usb-storage should always be zero I believe), the third is the target (which again is always 0 for usb-storage) and the last is the LUN. LUN 0 is the only one probed if this kernel option is off, so you'd need to repeat this command as root for every media type your device accepts. ================ Following this advice, for my CF/SM reader I added the following two lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 1" echo >/proc/scsi/scsi "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 2" I believe that you adjust the number of lines based on the number of formats/slots your reader has. The 6-in-1 devices probably need 6 lines; if your device only supports a single card type, you probably only need one line. Somewhere else in either the User Guide of FAQs on the Linux-USB site discussed changing the SCSI max luns in modules.conf. I can't find the reference at the moment, but I haven't needed to do that for Mandrake 9.1. Note that to try this out, you don't need to update rc.local and reboot. You can just type the command at a terminal prompt and see what happens. You might have to look in /var/log/messages to see the messages. Here is what I see in that file. When the system first boots up (before running rc.local) I see this: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI r Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi1, channel 0, id sdd : READ CAPACITY failed. sdd : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Additional sense indicates Medium not present sdd : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. Then when the above statements in rc.local ran, I see this: kernel: scsi singledevice 1 0 0 1 kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI S kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sde at scsi1, channel /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent: sd_mod allready loaded kernel: SCSI device sde: 16000 512-byte hdwr sectors (8 MB) (Sorry, some got cut off, can't find a decent editor that can do column blocks AND copy to the clipboard) Anyway, this is right because I have an 8 MB SmartMedia card in the reader.
