Slackware 12: Problem mounting iRiver X20 sd card

andrew.46 · 10-29-2007, 01:58 AM

Hi,

I am running Slackware 12 and using an iRiver X20 usb media device. The iRiver automagically mounts as /media/iRiverX20 and works flawlessly.

However I have added a 2 gig miniature sd card to the device that does not show up in Slackware. This card shows up in windows and Ubuntu as an extra 2 gig external drive.

There must be a way to mount this drive manually, and from there automatically, but I have not been able to do it. I would be grateful for any assistance.

Andrew

Hi again :-)

I monitored the system log when plugging the device in as follows:

Code:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

and received the following:

Code:

but no mention of the 2 gig card!
