-snip- Hi sorry for late reply. To add a module into a kernel either type "modprobe usb-storage" Or just add the module to the file /etc/modules in a new line only the name of the module so it will be loaded at bootup here is my /etc/modules file it might look different than mandrakes but it should be ok to just add the correct line . -snip- # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored. ne2k-pci bttv #NVdriver i2c-isa it87 es1371 apm power_off=1 i2c-viapro #lm78 #eeprom usb-storage Actually there seems to be difference inbetween debian and mandrake here cause for me the module loads automatically at bootup even without having it in /etc/modules. The device should be build afaik automatically if you load the module at bootup. Tell me if you have no luck so ill search the docs that i used to get it to work. On google you find every infos you need i just dont remember with what search pattern i looked for it. Cheers Florian
