So I am restricted to reading CF cards only on the iBook. I have all the same modules loaded: sg, sd_mod. Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how to remedy this?
hotplug-utils did the trick for me; I added a line in fstab to mount my FAT16-USB-Memory-Stick:/dev/sda1 /usb/sda1 msdos noauto,rw,user,exec 0 0
these sticks are real nice (though slow) ! good luck Norbert
