Today I tried this again by pluggin in a USB stick and got this in /var/log/syslog: Feb 20 14:11:22 red kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 6 Feb 20 14:11:31 red kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7 Feb 20 14:11:31 red kernel: usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Feb 20 14:11:31 red kernel: scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Feb 20 14:11:31 red kernel: usb-storage: device found at 7 Feb 20 14:11:31 red kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Feb 20 14:11:36 red kernel: Vendor: Kingston Model: DataTraveler 2.0 Rev: 1.04 Feb 20 14:11:36 red kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: SCSI device sda: 2004992 512-byte hdwr sectors (1027 MB) Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: SCSI device sda: 2004992 512-byte hdwr sectors (1027 MB) Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: /dev/scsi/host5/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi5, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Feb 20 14:11:37 red kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete Feb 20 14:11:53 red kernel: UDF-fs: No partition found (1) Feb 20 14:11:53 red kernel: Unable to identify CD-ROM format. So why is the kernel thinking it is looking for a CD-ROM? And when I can use pmount to mount the paritition (/dev/sda1) manually successfully, how come automatic mounting fails in KDE (and also in Gnome). In KDE at least, the message window says that no valid partition was found or something like this. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
