Hi to all,

Although i can't say i'm a real nebbie, the truth is that i still haven't figured out how to get to mount my usb device.

I'm running Slackware 10 with and a custom compiled 2.4.26 kernel, obviously i have the usbcore.o, the usb-uhci.o and the usb-storage all set up and also the scsi stuff cause i need scsi emulation for my cdrw.

The output from my /proc/bus/usb/devices is:

and i get the /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 that has:

root@3DMaya:/proc/scsi/usb-storage-0# cat 1
Host scsi1: usb-storage
Vendor: Unknown
Product: Unknown
Serial Number: None
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0c7600050000000000000000
Attached: Yes

but each time i try to mount through the "mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb i get "mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" i tried sda and sda1-sda15 and sdb-sdb15 and i always get the same problem, i'm mounting it as root so permissions is not the problem.


Sorry for the huge post, thanks in advance for all the help.

Man, i really feel dummy, dummy, dummy.

I found out what the problem was, i was missing the the hard disk scsi support module the sd_mod.o, after compiling that one i can mount my device without a problem. it seems i didn't need any help but thanks to all anyway
