unable to mount psp


i've bought a usb cable to connect my PSP to my computer to copy stuff onto the memory card on the PSP, but i am unable to mount it.

i have looked at several related threads on these forums but what worked for other people doesn't work for me. here's some system ouput that will hopefully help someone to help me

when i plug it in, this comes out in the logs:

Code:

Nov  6 11:33:58 odin sde: Mode Sense: 00 6a 11 00

then i try to mount with this command:

Code:
mount -t vfat -o shortname=win95,check=s,sync,fat=12 /dev/sde /mnt/psp
(i use fat=12 cos thats what fdisk reports as the filesystem- it doesn't seem to make a difference whether i use this or not, or even use "auto" as the FS type, same results)...and i get a long pause (minute or two), mount fails, and i get this in the logs:

Code:

not sure if any of this information is useful, but i'll just dump it here just in case:

it seems to me that it has no problems detecting and connecting with the PSP, but it fails on mount, with SCSI and I/O errors and such....

can anyone tell me what these errors mean and possibly what may be wrong?

i've had no trouble mount USB flash/pen drives (dunno what their proper name is) and reading/writing data, but the PSP seems to be different for some reason. after googling and searching forums for related threads nobody else seems to have problems

i am running gentoo wth kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6.

thanks,
-Luke

Re: unable to mount psp


then i try to mount with this command:

Code:
mount -t vfat -o shortname=win95,check=s,sync,fat=12 /dev/sde /mnt/psp
[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure about the rest, but you need to mount a partition, not the whole device.
Try
# fdisk -l /dev/sde
to find any (available) partitions

It's probably sde1.

Also, you might like to simplify your mount statement while debugging:

# mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/psp

and hope that the OS can autodetect the important stuff.
