Re: USB Mass Storage in 2.4.18-686

You should probably also have scsi-generic loaded as a module modprobe sg You could install the package scsiadd, then run scsiadd -s to scan the scsi devices. On occasion (no idea why), I suddenly needed to mount sdb1 instead of sda1. I use this sandisk reader on 2.4.18 without a problem,

uw-imapd won't start

tcpd hemorrhage

sid dist-upgrade only to remove packages

I checked for sid upgrades today, and there were 20 or so, but 30 packages which apt-get wanted to remove. I upgraded by hand (apt-get install) the packages in groups to see where the conflict was, but in the end all the upgrades installed just find. Still when I apt-get update; apt-get -s -u
