At a terminal prompt: dmesg | grep -i sd ; and: dmesg | grep -i ub
What "helpful hints" have you already tried?
Hi Everyone,
I am having trouble with my Flash drive showing up on my desktop with Knoppix 4.0 installed on the Hard Drive. I have the USB Flash Drive attached when I start it up, but nothing comes up. The Flash Drive only shows up when I run the Knoppix 4.0 Live CD. I have searched the forums, and I saw one post similar to mine with a few helpful hints, but it does not work. Could someone please help? Thanks!
Randy

Hello everyone,
I've recently installed Knoppix 4.0.1 on my hdd even though I've seen on some forums that this decision is not too wise. They warned about the fact that features that work perfectly when running the live cd may not work at all when installing knoppix on hdd.
Immediately after the end of the installation process I met some inconvenients.
The funniest one is that the language used to display the login messages changed without me interfering. I guess that now the language is Turkish.
Another problem is with the flash drive (Kingston 128 MB) that was detected before but now it isn't
Here are the messages I got after typing "dmesg | grep -i sd" and "dmesg | grep -i ub":

I assumed sdb is the flash drive so I typed:
mount sdb -t vfat /mnt/test
and the response was:
mount: special device sdb does not exist.
I don't know what else to do so please give me a hint if you can.
Thanks.
" mount sdb -t vfat /mnt/test "
The above line should read: mount /dev/sdb1 -t vfat /mnt/test
The directory /mnt/test must already exist.
FYI filesystems are mounted, not devices. Your memory device is /dev/sdb . The only filesystem recognized in it ( "sdb: sdb1" ) is at /dev/sdb1 .
Thank you very much. I mounted the flash drive and it's working fine.
Forums are a lot better than all those cumbersome manuals in which you never find what you need.
