24 days and a few problems left.

My mount points are /mnt/sda, /mnt/sdb1, /mnt/sdc, and /mnt/sdd. These were allready there.

sda and sdd, I don't care about, they are the memory stick and smart media slots respectively, I don't use that kind of card. sdb is listed with a 1 because there was a card there durrnig my most recent reinstall, so it saw that there was one partition, it's entries are the same as the ones for knoppix via CD. sdc has everything but mounting set to auto in the fstab, so which ever is correct, "should" work.

as root, I entered
mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
response was "mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device"

Then I tried
mount -t auto /dev/sdc /mnt/sdb
response was "mount: /dev/sdc is not a valid block device"

This is the same error I get when trying to mount with kde or with that block mounter app that sits in the tray.

I got an idea ...

I think knoppix uses an automounter for accessing this devices ...

Perhaps you could start that and see if it helps (as root):

/etc/init.d/autofs start

I dunno if this can help, but if you are brave (dunno what can happen, but I think nothing bad) you can reuse knoppix-autoconfig.

This would be then (as root):

/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

(Then it does normal auto-configuration, perhaps then the right usb-module/program is loaded)

THanks for the clever tip. Ill try that and post back. I've got some errands to run, but I'll post it this evening. Also, as easy as it is to reinstal koppix, don'tknow what I'd be scared about. As ong as I don't have to reinstal my nvidia drivers.....

The first command you posted didn't do anything and the autoconfigure ran, but did not work. THanks anyway. Still trying...

Hm, could you post complete dmesg output ? (I know its huge, but could help; dmesg is a program)

Hi !

I've a multi reader/writer from sitecom: my problem was that i could access only CompactFlash in /dev/sda1

I found somewhere in this forum that you have a parameter about luns to pass:

max_scsi_luns=4

You can add it to your append of lilo

Your memory stick will be the last device, if compact flash is /dev/sda (exactly /dev/sda1)
the memory stick will be /dev/sdd (/dev/sdd1)

The problem is that knoppix detect the first scsi luns but not the other

I hope it'll work for you... :)

With Knoppix 3.3, it is no longer neccessary to patch ipaq.c. You can now simply use:

Code:

---

sudo insmod usbserial
sudo insmod ipaq vendor=0x3340 product=0x3326
# use your PDA's own IDs instead
