Hi!!

I'm almost done trying to set up a brand new 2.6.14.3 kernel but today I realized that I cannot mount my pendrives (that work perfectly in my 2.4 kernel).
It seems to me that I've forgotten some options during my kernel compilation, I've enable:

[* ] SCSI device support
[* ] SCSI disk support
[* ] SCSI generic support

and
[M] USB mass storage support
(this one as a module because it seems I cannot include it inside the kernel)

What I'm missing?? (note: I've modprobed usb_storage)

my output (I google for it, but no clues were given...)
Thanks in advance!!

when I do a lsmod I see these modules listed: usbcore, usb_storage, ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd

I also have udev and HAL running on this machine which will auto mount the USB drives when they are inserted.

the ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd are the USB Host controllers as far as I can tell

Open a shell and type tail -f /var/log/messages before you plug in the USB device to see how the system is detecting it. when you plug it in the system messages from the log should be displayed.
it may not be sda1, for some reason it detects my first device as sdb1 but as long as it's working I won't argue.

Hope that helps..

thanks for your directions, buddies. I got it to work. Module uhci-hcd (for usb 1.1 support) wasn't compiled
I'm looking foward for automounting now :-)

Thanks again for your time and input!!
