I don't know your particular hardware, but try having the drive already plugged in when Knoppix boots and see if that helps. And we are talking about booting from an optical disc, are we not? (All bets are off if not.)

I plugged in my notebook drive in the usb caddy
it auto finds it ok
but errors when trying to access it
need to be root user to do the mount
fat is invalid
ended up with
create a folder to mount it to
/home/dr/nb
then, root user
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/dr/nb
it's showing fine, now. g'luck

i tried both methods nether worked
the "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1" command result in this
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
so whats wrong do i need a driver or somthing

hmm, my usb 1.1 camera isn't playing nice either
will have to do uhcdev thingy research
from a dos tty screen
and root access
cd /dev
ls
my notebook was autofound on the usb when i plugged it in
and it auto showed in the Info Center USB view
and /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 appeared
the camera showed an error
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64
errors, 6 lines in all
does you dos screen show errors when you plug in ?

i see no devices in info view just USB UHCI Root Hub (1) and USB UHCI Root Hub (2) and both my mp3 and thumb drive are hooked up
maybe this will help
MP3 is a Sandisk Sansa m230
Flash Drive is a Sandisk Cruzer U3 Device
also video is weard its only 1024x768 and when i had windows it was 1280x800
is there a way to make it that big again

just wondering what version of knoppix are you using

I am trying it with the all new 5.1.0
I don't think it's gonna play
though it appears there is supposed to be support straight out of the box, perhaps off the cd-boot
I can't be bothered plugging in the cd-rom again

really theres a 5.1 i still have 4.3
maybe i will try that and if it works upgrade
i HD installed Knoppix on my laptop. i just dont like Windows
Just curious do you thank it could be because its a Sandisk that its not reconised on Knoppix

I've been trying my Casio exilim camera
it's gonna be more the non-universalness of the USB implementation for all types and global backwards compatibility
you gotta give Bill Gates that much, it works in windows.
i've seen mention that it's easier to get a $20 7 slot memory card interface
the driver for that loads
and then let it load the stuff you plug into it
or thereabouts ... it would work with the memory card in my camera
I'm gonna try my PSP tomorrow night

yeah your right it works in WIndows. but still i thank its a little unsecure
and figured out somthing No devices work in Linux thats USB probibly my USB controller is unsupported in Knoppix 4.3 or alltogether
