fedora and how to get mass storage devices (memory card readers) to work

[Rei Shinozuka <shino@panix.com>]

well, lsmod did show:


Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P  
usb-storage            75136   0 
....

and interestingly, usbview
showed the the card reader is recognized:

http://www.shinozuka-family.com/USBViewer.jpg

but the last 2 commands return errors:

[root@tuxedo root]# mount -t usbdevfs 0  /proc/bus/usb
mount: 0 already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy
mount: according to mtab, usbdevfs is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb
[root@tuxedo root]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
[root@tuxedo root]# 

i feel we are getting closer!!

thanks,

-rei
