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

[marhleet]

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
