Hi all,

I hope someone here can help me with my USB problem, I spend already hours on this, googling for usb and linux, but haven't found a working solution so far:
I don`t get my USB devices to work. They seem not to be recognized by Knoppix, though kernel modules are loaded:
lsmod:
:
usbserial 19676 0 [visor]
usb-storage 62016 0 (unused)
usb-uhci 21836 0 (unused)
usbcore 57824 1 [visor usbserial usb-storage usb-uhci]


Am I right that usb devices (usb stick or Palm) should be mounted automatically by the system? Or do I have to mount them manually? I tried (without success): mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdevfs or mount /proc/bus/usb/ /dev/usbdevfs.

My system is: HP Omnibook 4150 with USB 1.0, Knoppix 3.7 (HD installed) with Kernel 2.4.27

Any help is appreciated!
Best regards
britt
