[expert] USB Storage problem

[Andrés Villaveces]

Dear all,

I tried to install an external floppy driver on a LM7.2 machine and on a
Red Hat 7.1.
The floppy driver is a USB device.

It seems to detect correctly the USB part on both distros, but for some
reason when
I try to mount /mnt/floppy, the system is unable to assign automatically
the right
device for the floppy.

The mtab/fstab both have fd0 listed as the floppy device. I try to
manually mount
mount /dev/usb/*** /mnt/floppy
with several options for ***, but on all of them the machine responds
*** is not a block device

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

[expert] PCMCIA Cd-Writer woes

[Andrés Villaveces]

Hi all!

I have difficulties with recognition of a CD-writer from LM7.2 and
RH7.1. The problem is as
follows: the CD-writer is a PCMCIA. The card itself seems to be
recognized (it beeps, but I do
not know what log file should keep track of this). But when I try to
burn the CD, xcdroast complains
that it cannot found a SCSI device.

Thanks a lot for any help with this...
