Yo!

I bought Flash Rom disk, but dont know how to use it, please help. It costed me 179 euros/dollars but I dont know how to install it.

I do not understand anything about it.

I am using Redhat 9.0 with quite new kernel.

Here is some complaining which I found from log file:

what type of flash rom disk is it?

Also what is the output of lsmod... ie what type of usb support do you have in the kernel? Is the usb-storage module loaded?

Yo!

It is an USB flash pen mass storage disk. An USB flash disk.

It works perfectly in MAC OS X 10.2 and in Windows 2000 without any configuration.

I think my problem is only how to install it to Linux Redhat 9.0.

It is handled as typical harddisk in Linux. Linux can find it, but I dont know how to mount it neither how to configure Linux to accept this device. It *should* work according to manual. Furthermore it should be totally platform independent device, as generally accepted like floppy disk is in general.

Furtheromore there may be a conflict with cdwriter which is another fake scsi device in Linux.

I agree (judging from your log file) that there may be conflicts. Who makes the drive? (for example mine is a TravelingDisk made by PQI).

second are the following modules loaded into the kernel?
usbcore
usb-storage
uhci

these modules need to be loaded into the kernel so that it knows how to talk to the drive. they come stock with the kernel they just might not be loaded automatically at startup.

Once the drive is recognized by the system you can mount it (as root) with the following command:

(note that this assumes there are no other usb devices plugged into the system)
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/minidisk

maybe try doing a search for your device under the device listing here:
