Hello!
I've just bought this 6 in 1 USB 1.1 Pocketdrive (Hama), and hoped that it would work in Fedora.
Of course, it doesn't work.. I have a 8 MB Sony memory stick.
/bin/dmesg output:
sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Info fld=0x0, Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Additional sense indicates Medium not present sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. sda: Write Protect is off sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table Device busy for revalidation (usage=1) Device 08:00 not ready.

When I try to mount with mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/cardreader :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems/var/log/messages:

So am I fu**ed ?
PS. I tried to search the fedora archive, but it was down..
