Anyway... Although I didn't figured out what is going on I also want to ask related to the this problem: Any time that I plug in my USB reader it gets another name in the /dev tree for example the first time I pluged it in I get: /dev/sda when I unplugged it and replug it again I get : /dev/sdb etc... etc... I think this is related to my problem... How can I remove the faulty /dev/.. links? This doesn't happen with my USB flash thumb drive that automounts fine , and every time I plug it in I get: /dev/sdb1
Please Help..!!
Hi, Manolis. I think that when you use more than one removable device the system sometimes gets confused. I have a similar problem. When it happens to me I just open up the MCC, Hardware List. It should re-detect the device and mount it correctly.

Hello,
If this doesn't seem obviouslywrong, I wnder if you are umounting the /dev/sda1 before unplugging it?
There was another USB/Flash question regarding supermount. I just have a simple '/dev/sda1 /mnt/fubar auto auto,user,noauto,ro 0 0' line in fstab and I get a nifty icon (in 9.1) on the desktop after boot (even when there is no disk in the reader. All I have to do is put a disk in and click the icon... voila! I think its great, and I don't have to deal with any super-dooper anything.
For what my opinion is worth,
-Jim
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/hd auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
I have an Icon on desktop which gives me instant access to media. I can also use command line.
One proviso though, as I learnt the hard way. If you don't have a media card in the device during the installation phase of Mandrake it will not create a working node device in /dev directory, and although I found out how to remove and recreate the device it did not last more than that single session, which made it a pain.
So, if you can spare the time and know how, recompile the kernel with a card inserted, otherwise wait until your next mandrake install and remember to insert the media into the reader before you begin the device detection fase of the install.
I guess the mandrake team need to address this issue of device detection without a media card inserted.
