hi, i have external hard drive connected through usb. i put the following line into /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb ext3 user,auto,exec 0 0 but localmount reports the problem of not finding /dev/sda1. when i tried to call mount -at .. after the boot proces in local.start it proceeds well. what is responsible for initializing of /dev/sda1? or have i forgotten to add something into fstab? thanks, pavel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list Most probably fstab isn't be the problem, but loaded modules. The modules needed to handle USB connections must be loaded before you try to mount any USB disk, although I'm not sure whether this is possible and/or advisable. My suggestion is compiling this modules directly into the kernel, that way you make sure you have USB support from the very beginning. HTH, Abraham -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
