Ummmmmmmm. I did 'modprobe usb-storage' but i get no output, i just goes back to a console prompt:
PLEASE add replies to the bottom so we can read down through the problem before your reply. Nuff said. On to the problem.
Uhm, NO. I didn't top post, I addressed each issue inline. That is NOT bad netiquette. Don't preach to me. Unless you think I was the original poster or something, in which case the err is yours.
You also need to check the files in "/cet/udev/permissions.d & /rules.d " to see if your device is covered with the existing rules/permissions and whether a symlink is being created.
Read "man udev" and visit http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php for information about usb device rules.
