Re: [newbie] Smartmedia card reader
Is it possible that you are not running devfs? If you issue the command cat /etc/lilo.conf from a shell, it will display the various boot options that appear on the menu when you first boot. Under your linux entry, there should be a line that begins with append=. On that line, it probably says devfs=mount or it might say devfs=nomount. I'm pretty sure if it says nomount, you will manually need to create the entries under /dev. The devfs=mount should create them automatically.

Re: [newbie] Smartmedia card reader
Have you tried using the config tool in harddrake ? this is how I set up my usb camera. once you have the usb storage module running your smart media card should appear under "disks" click on it then run the disk config utility in expert mode you can choose a mnt point and write the fstab from there . jason On Thursday 18 April 2002 03:38, you wrote: > On Wednesday 17 April 2002 03:31, Walter wrote: > > See what happens if you do > > modprobe usb-storage > > before trying to mount the card. > > I still have no /dev/sda1... how do they appear?

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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
