Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernal, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted.

This is the same on three systems. When I run Knoppix from the CD, all is fine. everything is detected, etc.

Any ideas?
Sure- it can't mount it because it can't find it in fstab methinks.
Just add this to your /etc/fstab:

none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

That oughtta do it.
Ah, methinks you are on to something. I added that line to my fstab file and now I can manually mount it, but only as root. Further, if I mount it as root I cannot read or write it as user. How do I change this? Oh, and thanks for the help!
