But if you actually read the "help" page for that option, it seems pretty accurate, especially the part about "if unsure say no": Low Performance USB Block driver CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB: This driver supports certain USB attached storage devices such as flash keys.

Re: [gentoo-user] "No sda, sda1 etc in /dev"
A question I have is "what is this driver for?" - I expected that if is marked as "low speed", it would not take over the high speed usb devices like it appears to do. I have it on one system, and will disable it for the next boot - but I dont get any errors from it.

Hi, is usb-storage loaded? scsi-disk configured as module and loaded too? With devfs /dev/sda* are only symlinks to /dev/scsi/host0/target0/lun0/* Do you have /dev/scsi/host0/target0/lun0/disc? Or are are you using udev? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well, a bit more of information would help... - Could you tell us if your are using genkernel or manual compiled kernel? - Could you excute this command: lsmod and show us the result of it? - Could you excute this command: dmesg after connect the usb disk or memory card and send to us the last 10 lines (more or less)? It is probably that the system is not loading automatically the usb modules... but if you show us that information, maybe we can tell you what exactly is going on... > > Fredrik > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- David GP www.davidgp.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
