USB drive problem

[linweix]

Hi, I tried to use my usb thumb disk on my Debain 2.6.9. I added the following in the /etc/fstab

/dev/sda1 /home/linw/usbkey vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0

but I got the following after I run: mount -a

mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

Can anyone help me to fix that?

command from lspci:
0000:00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 16)
0000:00:07.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 16)

and that is modules:
w@debian:~$ lsmod

Try modconf at knosole as root, then goto the scsi drive part and choose the imm or ppa or both and enter through to install these modules. If that does not work then you have to find the correct module to install from that list. Not in linux right now so I can't give you the exact listing of the scsi drive module but that part is in what you're looking for. Good luck.
