plug it out, and run

modprobe storage

Plug it in, wait 5 seconds or so, and have a look at

dmesg |tail -n 25

Post that output

Your kernel does not appear to have usb storage compiled in.
The system doesn't see it.

You need to recompile the kernel.

Zentharus · 03-30-2012, 05:42 PM

How would i do that?

business_kid · 03-31-2012, 02:30 AM

Plenty of useful guides out there. I'm not going to write another. There is kernel documentation also. Compiling the kernel is handy, choosing the required options is the slow bit.
