It must be all that clean living you do. When I do that, the system sits 
and thinks for about a minute and then says you must specify the 
filesystem type.

If I specify the type, then it says that there's no such mount point. (So 
you must have created the /mnt/disk mount point in addition to what you say 
above, right?)

And if I create the mount point, it says that /dev/sda1 does not exist. At 
which point I bury my head in my hands and reboot back into Windows. And in 
Windows, of course, to quote a wise man, Poof it works.

Looks like one system I work with that has the same message for usb. 
It's not accepting the usb device at that address...

The system: Abit VP6 motherboard with built in usb (VIA) and an add on 
usb card with an NEC chipset. For whatever reason this motherboard 
stooped accepting any usb devices with, I think, about the 2.4.0 kernel, 
maybe a bit earlier. System boots clean except whit attaching any device 
on the built in usb (VIA) ports. It will display the same message you 
are receiving.

Devices attached to the add in card works just fine.

Is it possible you can try another device in this usb port that you know 
that works? Say like a mouse?

[expert] 9.2 and USB flash memory

2003-10-20 Thread D. R. Evans
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I have a USB flash memory stick (FAT formatted) that I am trying to read 
under 9.2. It works fine on the same brand new laptop under Windows XP Pro 
(of course).

Under 9.2, when I plug in the stick, a /mnt/removable icon appears on the 
desktop, but when I click on that icon, a Konq window pops up and says that 
there are no files on the stick.

Looking in /var/log/messages when I plug it in, I see:

PS to Rolf: As you suggested, I also e-mailed Mdk about the urpmi scripts 
on the club pages; so probably they'll get changed in the next day or two, 
I imagine.
