Hi everyone,

Im verry new to Linux (i bet you hear that allot ;-)), and i'm trying to get my Sandisk Cardreader to work in the Suse 8.2 distro.
As far as i know the usb mass storage support is loaded, but scsi support isn't ... that's why it won't popup in /etc/fstab, so i can't mount the device (however that works ...)
I have read the "USB Mass storage devices(CF card readers) in Linux"

And there it says at a point;
Configure the linux Kernel
-add scsi support
.scsi support
.scsi disk suport
.scsi generic support

WHOAaaaa, wait a minute ... im new to Linux !!

How do i have to do that ?? ---So here you come in, im asking the Experts !!

For some extra info i wil copy and paste some dmesg output in here, and just for your info, i've disconnected the reader at the moment.
