Hello,

I am sorry, I cannot be sure what your problem is, as I have been trying, but my Sony memory stick always mount with no problems. I only have 2 suggestions:

1) After Knoppix has finished starting up, have you tried removing the memory stick and reinserting? This could lead Knoppix to detect the memory stick.

2) (This is a stupid suggestion I know -- but it happened to me before) Is it possible that your memory stick is inserted upside down? On my card reader, it is possible to insert the memory stick upside down! When I did that and tried to mount, I got the same error message you got: "device sda1 does not exist".


P.S. Wow, there is a 9GB flash card? How much does it cost?
