Hi everyone I have a similar problem with device, I have USB Flash Card Reader, Targus PA505 that can read two types of cards (has two slots) the CompactFlash and SecureDigital/MultiMediaCard. I use Mandrake 9.1 and the device is detected by the system however I have problems on mounting it. I created flash directory at /mnt/flash and also added the "/dev/sda /mnt/flash vfat user,noauto 1 2" in /etc/fstab. I checked "lsmod" for fat and vfat which were already loaded. Then I tried "mount /mnt/flash" and this is what came out: [raireg@localhost raireg]$ mount /mnt/flash mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems [raireg@localhost raireg]$ Later on after restarted the system I even got an icon on desktop for sda device which could be mounted by right clicking and selecting "mount" however got the same message mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems Should I create two separate directories at /mnt for each type of card for e.g. /mnt/flash1 and /mnt/flash2 ? How to make the flash card reader mount properly or where is the problem that I can fix and make it work right ? TIA

sorry this migh sound stupid but do you have an onboard sound card or a pci one ? just in case it's a pci one it happen to me that I had to unplug and replug it back so after that the system could recognize it, in my case it was a hardware problem and now it works fine ... HTH
