Genesys website says use usb-storage module. http://www.genesyslogic.com/econtents/product02.asp?minicidx=2&lastcidx=8&SN=38 Have loaded the usb-storage module, and this is what I get when I plug it in: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 14 scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 9138 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 9138 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 1, type 0 Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 9138 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi generic sg2 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 2, type 0 Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 9138 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi generic sg3 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 3, type 0 Vendor: Generic Model: STORAGE DEVICE Rev: 9138 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi generic sg4 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 4, type 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 14 I've tried mounting sg0 through sg4, with three different types of memory card, all formatted VFAT.

This is what its doing when it stops, according to strace: open("/dev/sg1", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 open("/dev/sg1", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 read(4, Have tried all 3 different types of card in it [together and individually], and it makes no difference. -- <http://ale.cx/> (AIM:troffasky) (gebssnfxl(a)ubgznvy.pbz) 18:18:39 up 23 days, 2:18, 1 user, load average: 0.57, 0.76, 0.83 This is my BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMSTICK

You want SCSI disk: it looks like support isn't present, so # modprobe sd_mod then try /dev/sda1 etc. -- | Darren Salt | d youmustbejoking,demon,co,uk | nr.

Is it for the SCSI disk driver > to access? It's a device you can use to send and receive stuff in the raw unadorned SCSI protocol. `generic' here means `not just disks'. Of course it doesn't support mounting: you can't mount an uninterpreted protocol stream :) >> You want SCSI disk: it looks like support isn't >> present, so >> # modprobe sd_mod >> then try /dev/sda1 etc. > > Sorted! That's done the trick. You probably want to try the hotplug/udev combo at some point (in a 2.6 kernel). When correctly configured it can make the plug-in/mount stuff pretty much effortless. (Of course if you're not mounting read-only you still have to unmount before unplugging!) -- Synapsids unite! You have nothing to lose but your eggshells! |
