sandisk cruzer mini usb flash drive
This has been discussed before (just search for Cruzer): the cruzer mini doesn't work with newer linux (such as knoppix). The simptoms range from drive not being detected to hard hangups. There is even a recipe, which, incidentally, didn't work for me. So, here's another one:
1. Unplug the cruzer mini. Boot Knoppix.
2. Get at a root prompt (e.g. CTRL-ALT-F2)
3. Do
Code:
echo /bin/true > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
. This prevents the hotplug scripts from atempting to mount the drive once you plug it in. Do NOT do (tempting!)
Code:
/etc/init.d/hotplug stop
instead, which would prevent the drive from being detected at all.
4.
Code:
modprobe usb-storage
5. Plug it in. The light should come on. If it doesn't, pull the drive out and plug it in again.
6.
Code:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sandisk
7. Enjoy!!
8. Unplug the drive
Now, this works every time. I wish I could figure out what it is that the hotplug scripts do differently than I do that makes it hang hard. I notice that just before hang-up shows a
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda count=1...
in addition to the mount, as if the script were trying to read the partition table off the drive. Could that be it?

how to get Sandisk cruzer USB flash to work with KNOPPIX
Even simplier than that.
1: Boot Knoppix without Sandisk Crizer
2: become root Ctrl-Alt-F2
3: echo /sbin/hotplug > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
4: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test
On some machines:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
The real culprit is /sbin/hotplug-knoppix which does something that causes a system to lock-up hard way.
The original /sbin/hotlug (also included in KNOPPIX) works fine.
