I can insert module usb-storage, and it gets properly (i presume) 'linked' to scsi_mod. However, if i try to mount /dev/sda1, i still get errors: it says it is not a valid block device (which is fals, it works perfectly on FC1 and other linux systems). > AFAIK there was a bug with usb storage in 2.6.5. An upgrade of your > kernel might help. That is exactly what i am running. So, i should compile a new kernel? Mmmmm...this is not really on the idea of a desktop distro, isn't it? But i wonder if i am the only one experiencing such a problem. I mean, memory sticks are quite normal, aren't they? Are you all using kernel 2.6.5.1-358 wihtout problems? Thanks E.
