mounting creative muvo2 FM (custom 2.6.16 kernel)

Hi

I've just purchased a Creative Muvo2 FM MP3 player (5gb micro drive) and I'm trying to mount it (slackware 10.2 base install, upgraded regularly to slackware-current).

I've had a look at the other threads similar to this, but my situation is different for one reason - when I plug the device in, it gets detected fine, but, the usb-storage engine (or udev or something) doesn't assign it a device (sda, sdb etc), so I can't use udevinfo or mount or anything like that.

I do use a custom compiled kernel (2.6.16 currently), so I'm wondering if I'm missing a config option somewhere.

The output of dmesg when I plug the device in is as follows

Code:

usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 4
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 04
usb-storage: device scan complete

A 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' gives me

Code:

My kernel config can be downloaded from here. If there is anything else that is needed, please let me know.

I have a similar 4GB Muvo and it works fine with my custom 2.6.13, can you show us the output of lsmod?

Code:

I tried it on my friends machine, who has a very similar setup (though some parts are obviously different, AMD vs Intel etc). It works perfectly, dmesg shows the device getting detected and a /dev/sdb created for it.

I'll try and compare the kernel config and other parts to see if I can figure it out.
