    Problems mounting a USB memory stick

    Hi!

    - I have problems mounting my USB memory stick (Apacer 128MB handy STENO 2.0).
    I'm booting Knoppix 3.3 from CD with the memory stick installed, on an Acer TravelMate 525TX portable PC. I have made a directory called /mnt/usbkey. On my KDE desktop there are 4 sda icons (sda1 to sda4).

    - Clicking on the icons on the desktop gives me:
    Could not mount device.
    The reported error was:
    /dev/sda1: Input/output error
    mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

    - Manuall mounting gives me:
    root@ttyp0[root]# mount /dev/sda -t vfat /mnt/usbkey/
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
    or too many mounted file systems
    (I have also tried using /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda4 instead of only /dev/sda)

    - DMESG gives me:
    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ dmesg |grep sda
    Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
    SCSI device sda: 253949 512-byte hdwr sectors (130 MB)
    sda: Write Protect is off
    sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4

    - I also have tried to save my knoppix configuration to the usb device 1 to 4 without luck:
    The KNOPPIX configuration could NOT be saved:

    - What do I do wrong?

    mmm, I have the same problem. The same USB and the same results. But, I have tried with another devices and the success rate is 50%. In some cases, Knoppix detects the usb drive without any problem. In the other cases, no way.

    So I think, that more than a configuration problem I think than there is a case of incompatibility.

    if you have a card reader. (ex: compactflash) knoppix will make that a sd also. One for each card reader. (if its a six in one then there will be six sd's)
