MottS Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 On my system, when I plug my digital camera /dev/sda1 appears. I mount it manually though. The driver for such devices is usb-storage. You also have all the scsi emulating driver to be loaded (scsi_mod, sd_mod, sr_mod, ...). So maybe some modprobe will do .. Do you run hotplug?

Michel Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I think I have hotplug..I saw sci_emulation in the lsmod-listing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 If you have hotplug then usb-storage should be loaded automatically when you plug the device in the usb slot. Here are the modules loaded on my computer when I plug my camera in (uses usb-storage .. as your memory stick should): usb-storage 106544 0ide-cd 27080 0 (autoclean) floppy 45820 0 (autoclean) eeprom 3668 0 w83781d 20368 1 i2c-amd756 3664 0 (unused) i2c-proc 6640 1 [eeprom w83781d] i2c-core 13224 0 [eeprom w83781d i2c-amd756 i2c-proc] nls_iso8859-1 2780 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4316 1 (autoclean) vfat 9204 1 (autoclean) fat 28952 0 (autoclean) [vfat] usb-ohci 17512 0 (unused) usbcore 54624 1 [usb-storage usb-ohci] ide-scsi 7568 0 nvidia 1547840 10 emu10k1 55464 0 sound 50708 0 [emu10k1] ac97_codec 9384 0 [emu10k1] soundcore 3300 7 [emu10k1 sound] 8139too 14024 1 mii 2016 0 [8139too] sg 25356 0 (autoclean) (unused) sr_mod 15672 0 (autoclean) (unused) cdrom 25824 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd sr_mod] sd_mod 10252 0 (autoclean) scsi_mod 51572 5 (autoclean) [usb-storage ide-scsi sg sr_mod sd_mod] I _think_ the important ones are: scsi_mod sd_mod sr_mod sg usbcore usb-ohci usb-storage ide-scsi (maybe?) Just modprobe those you don't see when you type 'lsmod' .. maybe /dev/sdX will appear.. MOTtS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hey, I have the icon now..although it relmains on the desktop permenantly, but I don't find that annoying for the moemnt.... I plugged it in at startup, so it would be detected as a harddrive...but that isn't necesay..if you know what to do :D:d... anyway I changed the line a little bit...and have the following line in my /etc/fstab-fiel now: none /mnt/memory-stick supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0 (it's 1 line)..ofcours eyou have to change the directory /mnt/memory-stick to whatever place you want to mount your memory-stick on....
