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
