mounting an USB compact flash card reader
Sorry for 125 points but that's all I have.
I'll be grateful to anybody who can tell me how do I mount an USB card reader/writer (compact flash card) under RED HAT 8 linux.
I don't know the cardreader's manufacter because it's not written anywhere, not even on the box.
... and... something else.... I have only very basic ideea of linux so I need an explicit answer.
best regards
Kronos
I thought i sent this:
insmod scsi_mod
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-storage
insmod usb-uhci
insmod sg
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
if not sda1, try cdrecord -scanbus to find scsi device
or cat /proc/scsi/scsi
insmod scsi_mod
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-storage
insmod usb-uhci
insmod sg
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
if not sda1, try cdrecord -scanbus to find scsi device
or cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Yes arn0ld, but (to my delight) I've found that modern kernels/distros actually "autoload" most of that for USB storage devices like cameras and so on.
What might be needed is the actual mounting.
After connecting use
lsmod<Enter>
to see that usb-storage actually has been loaded. If not, do as arn+ld tells you.

my 2.4.18 (fairly modern enough?) does not auto-detect my usb reader or olympus camera on a serial port - although I do not recall if I have connected and powered-on these peripherals prior to booting.
I have a fairly modern SCSI host adapter so this might obscure the USB.
dmesg alone is inadequate unless detection occurs during boot. You cat cat /proc/scsi (non-existence means the reader has not yet been detected) or even
grep -i scsi /var/log/messages (looking for today's date).

Hm, might be distro specific "tweaking" in the /etc/modules.conf then... Upon _connect_ of USB device a Mdk9 (and at least 8.2, 8.1 ...) will detect usb-storage. Hm, can't check ATM (I just managed to lock out my VPN account. Sigh), but it might be through the hotplug facility.
So you're running RH?
Aparently this behaviour can differ between distros.

The errors all indicate that it cannot read the meadium at all.
Do you have a valid flash in the reader when "just plugging it?
Do you have a make/model you could share with us?

I've had similar errors when using a USB diskette drive (bl**y toshiba ¤"%&... pardon the language:-).
That just don't have a partition table to read, but had to be mounted like (vfat/msdos filesystem):
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/floppy
A similar thing might work for you (eventually), but it seems like there is a read IO error on accessing block 0, so ... perhaps not yet:-).

I thought the same, but I can read the card in Windows XP .
I can't give you any hint (only that is made in Taiwan) because windows doesn't call it but "removable storage drive"
pls help

Stories you probably already read:
http://www.deepwater.uklinux.net/Computing/usb-storage.html
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/4563/2002/11/0/10259848/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/36899
(hits like http://iahack.tripod.com/ are fun, but ... esoteric... The others show that you are not alone:-)
All advice go in the following well-trodden tracks:
mkdir /mnt/flash
(plug in reader)
(plug in card)
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
(or perhaps: mount .t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash)
...
possibly
rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usb-storage
after inserting the card into the reader, before attempting to mount it.
If you could quote a bit more of dmesg and/or /var/log/messages?
Perhaps we could find out the manufacturer by way of the vendor ID.

Oh, upon rereading I realise the first line can be missinterpretated. Of course I find the inability of the HW to function properly irritating. Nothing else.

Thanks Glenn, I think you wasted enough time with me. If I get it right, there is a problem with the card reader (nor u or me know what the problem is), so I will try to find the vendor (it didn't seem important to me cause from my knowledge it should have been an easy (& universal) way to read the card in RH8). So, maybe they know what the problem is.
In the worst case I will reboot in Windows everytime something should be transferred from/to flashcard. :((

After doing that
dmesg<Enter>
should tell you what the kernel has found/done. It'll probably treat it as usb-storage, and fake it as a scsi unit.
