From: Rockinghorse Winner on 19 Apr 2010 12:06 For both a Iomega USB HD and for a Pocketec USB HD, the hardware is detected according to /var/log/messages, dmesg and lsusb; but no mountable device is created. I have a usb printer that works fine. Here are my dmesg and lsusb printouts: http://pastebin.ca/1868008 (lsusb) http://pastebin.ca/1868003 (dmesg) Thanks! -- Powered by Linux 2.6.31.6-166 Fedora 12 In rotation: Pacific Ocean Blue (D.

What I mean by that was, if you do fdisk -l /dev/sd{your_usb_drive} when you can see a device, what does fdisk report as the file system type, eg Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 1999 16056936 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdc2 2000 9039 56548800 5 Extended /dev/sdc5 2000 4000 16073001 83 Linux .... /dev/sdc9 8902 9039 1108485 82 Linux swap / Solaris As you can see sdc1 is identified as having an an appropriate file system type designation in the partition table for a Windoze NT/XP file system. For FAT32, it probably should be "c W95 FAT32 (LBA)". > BTW, the drives both mount fine in Fedora 12. So that suggests that something in openSUSE is not loading the appropriate kernel module perhaps on auto detecting the connection of the drive. Did you check to see if the usb_storage module was loaded?

Do you have a partition on either of these devices, and if so, what file type is it set to in the partition table? Do you have a file system on one or more partitions on these devices, and if so what type of file system is it?

For FAT32, it probably should be "c W95 FAT32 (LBA)". Fdisk -l doesn't detect anything other than the main drive, sda. >> BTW, the drives both mount fine in Fedora 12. >So that suggests that something in openSUSE is not loading the appropriate >kernel module perhaps on auto detecting the connection of the drive. >Did you check to see if the usb_storage module was loaded? Could you explain to me how to do this? -- Powered by Linux 2.6.31.6-166 Fedora 12 In rotation: Pacific Ocean Blue (D. Wilson) 2.6.31.5-0.1 OpenSUSE 11.2 "Hug your cat today" 2.6.24-16 Mint Elyssa

Well, I rebooted, and it now creates a /dev/sdb1 for me. Great. Could have been the recent kernel update (or not). Anyway, thanks for the great help; It may come in handy some day! -- Powered by Linux 2.6.31.6-166 Fedora 12 In rotation: Pacific Ocean Blue (D.
