Subject: "/dev/sda1 does not exist" Why????
I use FC3 kernel 2.6.9-1.667 and when I plug my USB pen drive in and click on
the kde icon I made it says that "/dev/sda1 doesn't exist". If I open a super
user terminal and go to /dev and type 'MAKEDEV sda1' it makes it, but says it
doesn't say that it is a valid block device. WHY??
I've seen some thumb drives that mount as /dev/sda, not /dev/sdaX where X is a partition number.
As another poster asked, what does fdisk -l /dev/sda show you?
